Re: Q: Estimated date for 2.16 release ?
Hi,
Will 2.16 implement the CORRECT BSDI/ELF patch that I submitted?
Possibly - but only if we receive a proper submission in time. In
particular we would need:
1. A copyright assignment to the FSF from the copyright holder(s) of
the patch. Without this we cannot accept the patch. This is a proper
legal document and there is a procedure to follow in order to obtain it,
so if you want to apply for one please let me know.
2. A tidied up patch. This is mostly laziness on my part, but I would
like to have one email that is just the patch, fully tested to make sure
that it applied and builds a toolchain that works, and which also:
* Follows the GNU Coding standards.
* Adds an entry to the NEWS files in the appropriate subdirectory(s)
announcing the availability of a new port.
3. ChangeLog entries for all of the ChangeLogs in the directories
affected by the patch. With real name(s) for the submitters please.
"The Doctor" is a nice alias but we prefer to deal with real people.
Cheers
Nick
