From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Marc Espie To: binutils@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: newbie question Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 00:00:00 -0000 Message-id: <19990513164936.A18941@liafa1.liafa.jussieu.fr> X-SW-Source: 1999-q2/msg00023.html First, I'm not officially subscribed to this list... I hope this is ok, I have access to the ml archives, which is enough for me, especially as my mailbox is already cluttered... As an OpenBSD developper, I will be trying to upgrade our toolchain at some point during the up-coming months... I know for sure that neither binutils-2.9.1 nor the latest gas snapshot I have found work out of the box. Since some problems we have from our tools are obviously tied to not enough close collaboration with the binutils developpers, I'm intent on feeding back all changes to binutils maintainers, so that we stop reinventing the wheel... Two questions: - what kind of copyright assignment do I need ? I'm already filed for `gcc' development, do I need to file for `binutils' and `gdb', or is there some finer discrimination (e.g., `bfd', `gas', `ld'.... what's a separate `program' in that context ?) I don't have any material ready for binutils yet, but I know from past experience that this paperwork can take some time to process... - are snapshots still alive ? it's slightly more practical for me to work on snapshots for various reasons (specifically: because we cover roughly 8 architectures, and it's easier for me to track problems occurring with other developpers that way) -- Marc Espie |anime, sf, juggling, unicycle, acrobatics, comics... |AmigaOS, OpenBSD, C++, perl, Icon, PostScript... | `real programmers don't die, they just get out of beta'
