Can we count on the fact that the SVN branch will be synced from time to
time to the mainline ?
synchronized ...from... the mainline...
Yes.
When you say it will be synchronized from time to time, is it possible
to make it so that at least for each mainline GCC release we could
produce a corresponding GCC plugin branch release or tag which is the
same but with the plugin functionality?
Having a minimum tagging policy like this would be very helpful for
projects wishing to make use of the plugin branch of GCC.
I know if there is at least a tag on the plugin branch for each GCC
release, then i will use it for my open source project: EDoc++
If enough people end up using it, it might give some weight to the
argument of merging it into the GCC main-line sometime in the future.
Thanks,
Brendon.
