I've pondered whether OpenOCD berlios web site should distribute binaries or not and I figure that this is best left to package maintainers, just like in the good old days. Michael Fischer has maintained a really neat website with lots of Windows binaries. Why should we dilute his efforts? Vendors need to support their customers directly anyway. OpenOCD is not about free support for vendors(I bet that one will come back to bite me :-) Similarly there needs to be one person who is responsible for each type of Linux/Mac packaging schemes. -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://www.zylin.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
