Plan for release 2.29 [and IMPORTANT message]

Plan for release 2.29 [and IMPORTANT message]

[Tristan Gingold]

Hello,

I'd like to create the release 2.29 branch at the end of June (next 
week) and to create the release around July 15th (so slightly earlier 
than initially planned).

As usual, if you have big pending patches, please tell us ASAP.

Also, for the IMPORTANT part: we are looking for a new release manager.
I will leave AdaCore at the end of July (that's why I need to do the 
release before), and I am not sure I could continue to follow the 
binutils mailing lists closely.

So, if you are a volunteer, please speak up too!

I have some scripts and doc to transmit, so don't be afraid by the work!

Tristan.

gdb already uses xz compression for it's release tarballs and compressed diffs.
GCC was also changed to xz compressed tarballs instead of bz2, but keeping gz
compressed tarballs.  Could the same be done for binutils?

Hi, Tristan,
You are GDB Darwin native maintainer, will you still be responsible
for GDB Darwin stuff.  There aren't
many patches and changes in GDB Darwin recently.

I plan to either continue to maintain or to resign; not yet sure.
