From: Michael Snyder To: gdb@sourceware.org Cc: Nicolas Bonifas Content-Type: text/plain Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:01:00 -0000 Message-Id: <1193262980.16917.16.camel@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.10.3 (2.10.3-4.fc7) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2007-10/txt/msg00214.txt.bz2 The offered contribution, by Nicolas Bonifas, of a man page for the gcore shell script has raised a question vis a vis gdb's install script. We have this shell script in our source tree, which invokes gdb and makes it run the "gcore" command on a specified process. This was, I believe, to mimic a 'gcore' command utility from Sun (or some such). But we've never installed the gcore shell script. Should we? Should we go ahead and put it into $/bin? In which case we might want to accept the contributed man page and install that as well? Apparently Debian's package installer does this, renaming the script to just "gcore" in the process. Michael
