Updates to ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/

Updates to ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/

[Gerald Pfeifer]

How about the following changes to that directory?

 o Remove "README". It's obsolete.

 o Remove "bzip2-1.0.1.tar.gz". bzip2 should be sufficiently distributed
   by now, and in fact the official bzip2 site is on the same physical box
   as gcc.gnu.org anyway!

 o Remove "dejagnu-19981026.tar.gz". Not sufficient for our testsuite.

 o Probably also remove "gperf-2.7-19981006.pat"?

Also libg++ probably should move out of intrastructure, is it isn't infra-
structure for GCC.


Unless I hear otherwise, I plan to remove the first three files in about
a week or so.

Feedback on the gperf patch and libg++ would be highly appreciated!

Instead, remove the stuff that is obsolete and add new stuff.  For example
a pointer to the bzip site :-)

Has there been a gperf release made with the changes that are in that
patch?  If so, a pointer to it in the README would probably be good.

Similarly, is there somewhere else to get libg++ these days?  If so, a 
pointer in the README should be added since folks are used to getting it
from gcc.gnu.org.

Good idea, though I added that pointer directly to
  ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/index.html
as it is (much) more likely that folks will check there, than in
infrastructure, right? :-)

Kaveh? It seems that this gperf patch is yours. What's the state there?
Can we remove the patch? Should we update some documentation somewhere
due to the latest gperf release?

OK.  So the README in our infrastructure directory should note that the
patch is no longer needed if one uses gperf-2.7.2.

Thanks for the update,
jeff

IIRC, the latest gperf-2.7.2 contains my patch, so it should be okay
to remove the patch and point people at that new version.

I haven't actually tried it though to see if some *other* change since
2.7.0 broke something...
