Re: Binutils 2.15.97 available
Hi Mike,
it's probably just a matter of i havent been around long enough to understand
exactly how the release process works, but the 2.16.90.0.1 snapshot rolled by
H. J. Lu included the '-linux-gnu*' to '-linux-*' changes while 2.15.97 does
not ...
i thought the patch went into both mainline and the 2.16 branch, so what am i
missing ? :/
I don't believe it went in to 2.16.
That's right.
Since this is a potentially controversial patch I thought that it would
be better to just apply it to the mainline sources and not the 2.16
branch. That way if the wider free software community complains about
the change they will not have any grounds to reject an official binutils
release, but instead can complain about its presence in the development
sources.
Cheers
Nick
