Hello,

This patch intends to implement initial command line support for
Cortex-R7 in Binutils. Is it OK to trunk?

Tristan - Can it also be backported to the Binutils 2.22 branch
please, after approved for trunk?


OK for trunk and (as Tristan says) for 2.23.



Hello Tristan,


I am trying to apply this patch to 2.23, but find we need to do
ChangeLog rotation like rename current ChangeLog to ChangeLog-2012 and
then put my changes to new file ChangeLog. What's the correct way to
rotate ChangeLog?
Is it enough that just rename files? Thanks.

I don't know if there is an official policy for ChangeLog, but as far as I
know
they aren't renamed in branches.

So just do not rotate them in the 2.23 branch.


I am sorry that I didn't make my question clear. I think the filename ChangeLog is for changes happened in current year. For example, when we enter into year 2012, we will rename ChangeLog to ChangeLog-2011 and leave ChangeLog for documenting changes in 2012. Similarly when we enter into year 2013, I think we need to rename ChangeLog to ChangeLog-2012 and use ChangeLog to document changes in 2013. Is this correct? I guess my patch is the first change in 2013 for branch 2.23.


No, we do NOT rotate ChangeLogs on release branches. Please don't do that.

R.
