I crunched through the various platform experiences I'd heard for 2.2.1c1, and came up with the following. Can anyone fill in some gaps, add comments or dig into some of the mentioned problems?

Sorry, I've not had time to look at this for the OS/2-EMX build; maybe tonight.
I thought OS/2-EMX was only going to be supported in 2.3? I'm certainly not going to port all those checkins you made to the -maint branch.

In general, ports to new platforms are considered "new features", so don't go in to bugfix releases. Rare exceptions have been made when the required changes are tiny and "obviously" can't hurt anything. The OS/2-EMX changes don't qualify here (and, e.g., they did break the Windows build -- who knows what else may have been damaged? "nobody" is correct <wink>).

I wasn't expecting them to be backported, and I don't expect the release sourceball to contain the OS/2 EMX changes until 2.3 either. I do however plan a binary release of 2.2.1 from my local CVS. If there were any problems apparently not related specifically to my OS/2 patches, I'd let you know. In particular the test_math run you requested feedback about (as a datapoint, not something you could/should resolve). As I've had system problems, and am not sure whether I've got my local vendor-branch 2.2 CVS tree straightened out after importing 2.2C1, I haven't had anything to report :-( -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
