Hi Vladimir,

Not at the moment.  Normally I would only make a point release to fix a bug
which seriously breaks the assembler or linker...

Plus - the gprofng documentation is available via the web site, although not
the man page itself, just the pdf and html versions.


> If yes, I would like to make my fixes to the 2.40 branch too.

Please do apply them anyway.  That way if there is a point release
it will contain the missing manual pages.

Cheers

PS.  It appears that in order to create the gprofng man page I have
to go into the gprofng/doc directory of my build tree and run "make".
Is this intentional ?  (Specifically, is it intentional that running
"make" in the gprofng directory does not build gprofng.1 nor does
running "make all-gprofng" at the top level).  Or have I missed
something ?   (Possibly I need to reconfigure my build tree ?)

If it is intentional then it may be necessary to update the src-release.sh
script (toplevel of the binutils source directory) so that it includes
the step to build the gprofng.1 file.  Otherwise when the next release
is made, the file will not be built and hence not included in the tarball.
