Hi folks, Title says all!— |
I feel myself dumb , but what you trying to say ?:) Did you solve those welknown endianes issues ? Or someone else already solve that welknown issues in webkit repo and you want our attention to merge them ?:) |

Bountysource needed official issue report on Github to create a new bounty, Ciao, Raf

Bountysource needed official issue report on Github to create a new bounty,
so I joined OWB repository and created one.
If you want it assigned to you or to a designed team just tell me and I
will assign it to you.
Else you can edit Issue and assign it to yourself.
I was just in hope it is something already done , not just about making a bounty :)

Well... Anyone should contribute with his own abilities in keeping alive Deadwood asked if someone was so interested enough in OWB to create a http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=7623 Well... As long none created any as of today, then I just thought I could So I committed it! Was I wrong, Kas1e? I was mailing chatting with Deadwood in past days and he wanted me to use By the way Kas1e, did you spot Bountysource IBM bounty for creating LUA Ciao, RAF

I updated start comment to better explain nature of Bounty! |
Probably yes. Beause for first we should find person who will do so. Without, money will be only collecting dust, and every donor will be angree as nothing will happens. There is alos no limit is set, so that mean no one will know how much need, and for who. So, my imho it was too fast to create such a bounty.
Probably he was right, power2people was better choice, as it 100% prove to be ok and clear enough in money trasnfer. How all that crap works with BountySource no one know from us know, and i can't bet on it. So, from my imho, choice of bounty site was also wrong. You probably better before find someone, then discuss it with everyone, and only after that, when person is find, and know what to do, and know how much he want, create a bounty. Imho, you was too fast. That money will colelct dust :) |

I wonder if you Amigan people prefer blabbering and continue crying over Well, I did something concrete by putting money in the face of developers. Now feel free to blame me for this guilty sin! Developers in Amigaland are few and in the community we all know who are Else we will continue facing a increasing divide with our browser Perhaps speaking of another topic of great interest, I know that in DirOpus But at this very moment Directory Opus is a really killer application with I can't ask it to you, Kas1e to commint this MOS Diropus 5.92 bug hunting, Then sooner or later someone will be forced to start a bounty for that bugs I am ready for that! Then we will see if there will be any volunteers to finally solve these Do you know if Bountysouce is compatible with Sourceforge issue reports If answer is positive I could start immediately a new bounty! Ciao, Raf

I wonder if you Amigan people prefer blabbering and continue crying over
split milk, or rather you want to do some truly concrete to solve our
situations.
Creating a bounty on your own, is not what make situation to be solved. You should firstly find a dedicated developer, before making any bounties. Ppls will think that you already "deal" with someone, and send money. And that will be fail, because you found no one, only collect money.
Its wrong way.
Deadwood say you - power2people is better, and he is one who workign on odyssey now. That mean, that what he say, should be done, not in other way.
Well, I did something concrete by putting money in the face of developers.
No. You making a bounty, which sounds like you have develioper who will fix all the issues. Bounty done wrong and desribe nothing. We all in amigaland know that when developer is agree, there no problems to make a bounty.
You was too fast.
Now feel free to blame me for this guilty sin!
You was too fast. That bounty will fail as no devloper assinged, and you choice wrong bounty site, as power2people is one we in amigaland use, and which is 100 times checked and proved to be good enough for us.
Developers in Amigaland are few and in the community we all know who are
the best ones, so it will not difficult to assign bounty task to a good
programmer.
You are too fast. Thinkgs not done like this. You first need to find developer, make an agreement with him, about what should be done, how much he want, etc, and only after that create a bounty. Not the other way.
I know what i say, i deal with it few times :)
Else we will continue facing a increasing divide with our browser
javascript engine and the rest of the world.
Find a developer for, and then bounty.
Then sooner or later someone will be forced to start a bounty for that bugs
too...
I am ready for that!
You can be sure, that we can deal with things in fine maner as well. And making a bounty is not problems for any of us. Just if there none, then it mean no developers willing to work on, or have another ideas, or have another timeline. Just not be too fast with things.
Then we will see if there will be any volunteers to finally solve these
MorphOS Diropus problems when developers could facing proper credits in
their faces.
I works already with ppls who can deal with, and there no needs for help like creating an uncertain bounties, sorry :)
Do you know if Bountysouce is compatible with Sourceforge issue reports
too?
I know that power2people is best for amiga projects, and not bountysource :)
sorry, i know you want to help , but (and that only my imho), you was too fast. You first should discuss it everywhere, without taking an action by taking money from users
Now, you will be in situation when ppls will ask _you_ about where their money :)
If answer is positive I could start immediately a new bounty!
No please no ! we can deal with it ourselfs :))

I just edited again bounty mission info, and added some technical specs on the work to do |
|
Here's my current patch from Leopard WebKit for JavaScriptCore. Built with the attached patch (with full optimization on gcc 5.3) on a 32 bit big endian PowerPC machine the JavaScriptCore C-Loop Interpreter passes all tests that I suppose it should pass. Most chunks in the patch shouldn't be needed for MorphOS but someone who knows how to deal with it, like Fabien Coeurjoly, will easily be able to strip the unneeded parts out. |
|
Thank you Internetzel! I will pass this info to developers, so they will verify if it is working Ciao, Raf

…ser#1). Added methods that differ from the patch to the current version. Added various #warnings where I found stuff needing more attention -- lots of unimplemented and broken stuff in those areas.
- Brief description and general target of the Bounty:
Webkit Javascript Engine for PPC has a great number of endianess issues, so we need a skilled developer (or a joint team of developers) to perform a hunt search&destroy party of all issues by finding it one by one.
It is a tedious job to do, so it needs to be properly rewarded by a reasonable amount of money, hence the creation of this bounty.
If we Amigans want next release of Odyseey Web Browser being usable with all sites featuring new versions of Javascript, we need:
We need also...
- Here follows technical description taken from aros-exec.org site:
2/2`of application related bounties proposal:
Solve the endianess issue in Odyssey's JavaScript engine to allow using it on big endian CPUs. One of the approaches
can be to bring in the minimal set of changes from Leaopard WebKit repository to Odyssey repository.
The leopard-webkit project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/files/600/Sources/
Validation:
up to same level as non-JIT JavaScript version for x86 processors.
compatible with Odyssey
