Status ====== Trunk remains in Stage 4 (regression and documentation fixes mode).
GCC 4.4 will be branched when there are no open P1 regressions for 4.4 and the runtime library sources have been converted to GPLv3 with the new licensing exception; the number of P1, P2 and P3 regressions has been below 100 for some time. The licensing exception is waiting for the FSF to confirm to the SC exactly what wording should go in source files using the exception and whether any changes to the exception are to be made to address the possible issues discussed on this list. Nick Clifton is ready to make the source file changes once the decisions from the FSF are available. After 4.4 is branched and the various steps in the branching checklist have been followed, 4.4.0-rc1 will be created from the branch and trunk will be open for 4.5 development. It is likely that 4.5 will follow the same sequence of stages as 4.4, with a Stage 1 of four months or more being followed directly by Stage 3, and the expectation of 4.5 branching around a year after 4.4. The timing of the start of Stage 3 may be adjusted depending on when particular development projects are ready to merge, if it seems desirable to delay to allow particular major developments (such as LTO) in. Quality Data ============ Priority # Change from Last Report -------- --- ----------------------- P1 3 + 2 P2 81 - 10 P3 1 + 1 -------- --- ----------------------- Total 85 - 7 Previous Report =============== http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-01/msg00610.html The next report for 4.4.0 will be sent by Mark. The first report for 4.5.0 will be sent by whoever creates the 4.4 branch. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
