RE: 3 weeks to GDB 7.9.1 release?

["Pierre Muller" <pierre.muller@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr>]

 Hi Doug,

thanks for the approval,
I just committed the series to gdb-7.9-branch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2015-05/msg00001.html


By the way, my patches in trunk were applied on top of your fix from April 6. 2015.

concerning  lib/pascal.exp 
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=01b622d4c7536f20622bc0e23ff78b7fe37bc1e3

  It would seem logical to also merge your fix.

  Joel,
you mentioned something about NEWS entry?

Does a fix in 7.9.1 need a NEWS entry in that branch,
even if it has no NEWS entry in trunk?
