To check out this branch use something like: $ cvs -z1 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co -r gdb_6_0-branch gdb+dejagnu At present the release is scheduled for Sat August 02 (2003-08-02-gmt). http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/schedule/ (but at the time of writing the pages weren't yet up-to-date) The branch commit policy is as follows: - The `gdb/MAINTAINERS' file still holds. - Don't fix something on the branch unless/until it is also fixed in the trunk. If this isn't possible, mentioning it in the `gdb/PROBLEMS' file is better than committing a hack. - When considering a patch for the branch, suggested criteria include: Does it fix a build? Does it fix the sequence break main; run when debugging a static binary? - The further a change is from the core of gdb, the less likely the change will worry anyone (e.g., target specific code). - Only post a proposal to change the core of gdb after you've sent individual bribes to all the people listed in the `MAINTAINERS' file ;-) - Only the very brave or very foolish would try to apply the obvious fix rule to the branch.
