From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ken Raeburn To: gas2@cygnus.com Subject: net release coming soon Date: Mon, 03 Oct 1994 00:30:00 -0000 Message-id: <9410030730.AA04516@> X-SW-Source: 1994/msg00124.html I'd like to get a net release of gas+binutils out sometime Real Soon. If you haven't tested on your system in a while, please give it a shot and let me know if there are problems. I've changed some of the assembler's relocation handling a bit recently to try to get i386 svr4 pic support working, and it still bootstraps okay on the sun4, so I don't think it's too broken. If you've sent me patches that've only been half-way integrated, please remind me to finish; I'll be rechecking my mail, but I might miss something somewhere. If you've sent me patches that haven't been integrated at all, and they're adding new functionality rather than fixing bugs, I'm probably waiting until after the release -- but once it's out, it couldn't hurt to remind me again. If we get really lucky and there aren't any serious problems, I'll try to release it around next weekend. Otherwise, maybe early next week -- that'd still leave time to get a bug-fix release out later this month if needed, before the FSF's next CD-ROM is cut. I'll probably release the whole package under the name "binutils 2.5", and just send out a notice about gas being incorporated into binutils at this point. I'm willing to be persuaded that it should be "gas 2.5" instead, but I'm inclined to think that gas does not have *that* much more name recognition, and "binary utilities" is a more correct name...
