putting tarballs for ftp on gcc.gnu.org

putting tarballs for ftp on gcc.gnu.org

[Kaveh R. GHAZI]

Hi,

We've recently decided to require GMP and MPFR for building GCC.  To
make things easier, I'd like to include the appropriate versions of
these packages in the ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure
directory.

I tried logging into gcc.gnu.org via ssh, and it hung for a while then
punted me out.  Can you please tell me what I should be doing?

Alternatively, if you could download and install the three files that
would work also.

I need the following installed in the GCC infrastructure dir:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2
http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr-2.2.0.tar.bz2

I also need a cumulative patch for MPFR located here:
http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/patches

You can call it "mpfr-cumulative.pat" or something like that.

		Thanks,

I downloaded both these tarballs and...

...this patch, which I saved under the name of 
mpfr-2.2.0-cumulative.patch.  I added the version number since I expect
we'll have later versions at some point, but can change this to something
else you prefer.

If there are any further things I can help with, just let me/us know.

Cheers,
