Hi Alex

I wish to thank eCosCentric for supporting eCos GCC 4.6 release. It
will both assure quality of this release and strengthen the image of
eCos community toolchain.
NP - it is a community effort after all :-)


In order to best utilize 2 lab. weeks of testing we should have well
prepared binaries. In my view, it would be the best to carry out the
eCosCentric lab. test as final release verification step after some
field testing. In a course of field testing we shall also prepare eCos
itself, (eliminate warnings, etc.).
We have the opposite view - our test farm finds errors which normal user
and field testing does not catch.  I think the earlier you get the
toolchain into the test farm the better because you will at least
minimise the user and field regression testing needed when you fix
issues thrown up by the farm.

We are happy to throw as many toolchain candidates as needed into the
test farm, with the only restriction being the bandwidth each board runs
the tests, so don't feel you have to hold back and use the farm for
final verification. Our test farm has thrown up far more eCos bugs and
toolchain issues than the rest of the community has to date.

Thank you for clarification. This gives a completely new perspective. We'll take care "as many" to be some reasonable figure.


Cheers

Ilija
