I think it's important, so to insulate the runtimes from the unstableness of the compilers. I'm not even sure nowadays what gcc people are using. 4.1, or 4.4? That way people could update the runtimes while using other compilers more easily, even third party ones. Long term, I'd even like to do that mythical push-most-things upstream, and get rid of our local copies of at least gcc and binutils. > There are a couple of issues with higher rating that I've not been able > to look into. > > So in my opinion, this is work that I don't look forward to. I've been considering switching our branching model into some sort of stable vs trunk scheme. But this is just food for thought at this point. I'm not asking you to do anything. -- Pedro Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Cegcc-devel mailing list Cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cegcc-devel
