From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeffrey A Law To: egcs@cygnus.com Subject: Stabilization of the egcs tree Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1998 22:52:00 -0000 Message-id: <9662.914395915@hurl.cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 1998-12/msg00878.html A few more notes. What I would like to see first is all the major platforms bootstrapping with normal bootstrapping options. ie, I don't want to worry about -O9, -mblahblah -ffoobar at this point. I want to get our basic "make bootstrap" working across all the major platforms. Once that has settled down we should proceed in an _organized_ manner to test the various -O options, then machine independent options, then finally machine dependent options. I do not expect to get through all this in 2 weeks, but I do want to see significant progress on stabilizing the tree over the next 2 weeks. We need to start fixing more bugs than we are introducing. *I* will be ignoring bootstrapping problems with nonstandard options until we get "make bootstrap" solid. There's no use in reporting problems with nonstandard bootstraps until we get the standard bootstrap working well again. I will also ignore non-bugfix patches submitted after midnight Dec 22 EST until we have made significant progress stabilizing the tree. We've got serious problems with the tree that need to be sorted out ASAP; the quicker we sort them out, the quicker we can get back to the fun parts of this project (and the quicker we can seriously think about egcs-1.2 timetables). jeff ps. This is also going to delay the merge from gcc2 until after the tree has stabilized. Contrary to an uninformed post, the merge from gcc2 has not been checked in and thus we do not have i18n support or any of the other gcc2 changes.
