Here is a strategy that I do understand; and, why:

Quote

The SWT port is part of Netlabs the source is up to date and maintained (http://svn.netlabs.org/swt)

Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT)

    * SWT is part of the Eclipse Platform Components
    * http://www.eclipse.org/swt/
    * Information about the CVS access of the main SWT development line can be found at the Eclipse Wiki
      http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_Howto


Now, take a look at the releases:

Quote

Stable
Windows, Linux, OS X, more...
3.3.2 Final Release - 22 February 2008

    * 3.3 Development Plan
    * New and Noteworthy
    * Language Pack

   
Development
Windows, Linux, OS X, more...
3.4 RC3 - 31 May 2008

    * 3.4 Development Plan
    * New and Noteworthy

http://www.eclipse.org/swt/


So, where are the releases for OS/2 (like there are for "Windows, Linux, OS X, more..." on this Eclipse site???  ???

Regards.

The file at Netlabs/incoming is bad. Do not download that,, don't even try. I had no idea that the DIINO file was corrupted. Did you download it?, what happened when you tried?

I've downloaded the DIINO file but encountered a CRC error when trying to extract the VHD file from the zip archive.
I've downloaded the file a second time because I thought that my first download had failed and corrupted the file.
Unfortunately, the second download gave me the same CRC error.
However, I'm able to extract the VMC file without a problem.

Hi Leonardo,

Re:

Could there not be an arrangement in place to have the file uploaded to the below attached web site like it appears to have been the case with all other operating systems (Windows, Linux,  OS X....)!

Quotehttp://www.eclipse.org/swt/

Thereby "simplifying" as well as "speeding up" the development process.

Leonardo,

The new file swtos2_20080618.zip is also corrupt.
I did a binary file compare and it's exactly the same as the old swtos2.zip file.

Could you check your local zipfile on your PC ?
Could you create a new zipfile and upload it again if it turns out that your local zipfile is bad ?

Thanks,
Michel

Darn!.... I hate this s....!. I checked the file and it's ok on my disk. There must be a configuration somewhere on the way you transmit files, maybe BIN or ASCII mode or something like that.

I'm pretty lost right now. I'll have to think of something else.

Thanks

I don't think that there's a configuration problem because I was able to extract the VMC file.

There are 2 options :
1. There's a problem in DIINO's upload or download protocol and then we should report this to DIINO.
2. There's a compatiblity issue in my our your zip tool.
Which tool do you use to create the zipfile ? I'm using WinZip 11.0 to extract the files.

Thanks

I used the Windows crap (ZIP support), that comes with XP. I was able un unzip the files using the same crap. I haven't try with Winzip. Maybe I will tonight.

Thanks for the feedback

Saijin_Naib

Actually, I find the XP zip folder feature handy to be able to work within zips without having to extract first. Also, the libary provider seems pretty legit: http://www.innermedia.com/

So I'm not exactly sure what makes it crap, but hey.

We all know what they say about "a bad worker"; he "quarrels with........."  ;); but, then again, (if this project is really worth the efforts...; and, also really mean something to people) I still cannot understand why efforts are not being made to to have the file uploaded to this site:

Quotehttp://www.eclipse.org/swt/

like all the others have been.  ::) :o ::)

There is a saying that "good things come to those who wait"; but, can OS/2 users continue to wait - forever!  8)

Leonard, are you using Wireless to upload the file? You could be having some packet-loss that way if so.

Ok, I created a new file using Winzip 11.1. I'm going to upload it tonight. It is updated and includes the SmartSVN project, so one can just work on the project and commit changes directly from the trunk on the local file system to Netlabs SVN.

In fact I'm using a WIFI connection, but it's the only one I have, so if I'm loosing packets,, we are f..ed

How so, when you can just burn the files to a CD and mail the damn thing to some like "Kim Haverblad", (or someone else at the OS/2 World Foundation), "Saijin_Naib"... who would then upload it to wherever...! ???

Just my two cents.

I wouldn't be adverse to that if it becomes necessary. Leonard, what ISP are you using? I have heard that many are interfering with p2p protocols by inserting garbage packets causing corruption of incoming/outgoing data. Perhaps your ISP is attacking the upload to DIINO using this method, though it would be a mistaken attack in this instance.

Leonardo, did you upload the file ?
The DIINO share appears to be empty.
