gdbserver/ considered a part of binutils?

gdbserver/ considered a part of binutils?

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hi Tom,

 It seems like something has to be done with Git hook scriptery to make it 
consider gdbserver/ a part of GDB rather than binutils; gdbsupport/ might 
be similarly affected.  My recent commit spanning gdb/ and gdbserver/ has 
triggered an additional message (beyond one to <gdb-cvs@sourceware.org>) 
posted to <bfd-cvs@sourceware.org>, which shouldn't have happened for such 
a commit.

 Since you have been the person working on this tree restructuring can you 
please figure out what has to be done to get this fixed?

I should be the same message with two recipients, but that's indeed
a good point.  This is something to remember when moving code to
the toplevel dir.

I've modified the script we use to determine which mailing-list to hit,
and marked gdbserver/ and gdbsupport/ as being GDB-only. I did a quick
pass over the current directories at toplevel, and didn't see anything
else. But if there are other directories not created yet that we are
planning on adding, please let me know, and I will take care of it too.

 Yes, it's a single original message, but if you're subscribed to both 
mailing lists then you receive two copies of the message as I did.

 Great, thanks, also for your sharp-sightedness!

I think gnulib is only used by gdb.

I think we're done for now.  I didn't even think of this, so thanks
Maciej for finding it, and Joel for fixing it.

Wouldn't binutils want to use it at some point, now that the work
to make it available has been done?

You are welcome!

I would hope so, but who knows.
If they don't mind seeing the email, it is fine by me :)

I've sent the binutils list a heads up, and asked them if they want
us to filter them out on those. Let's see what they say :).
