Adding GDB branches to your nightly version updates...

[Joel Brobecker <brobecker at adacore dot com>]

Hi Alan,

The GDB project is going to create the GDB 7.7 release branch fairly
soon, within the next couple of weeks, I would say. Up until recently,
the date in GDB's version number was handled directly in GDB, but
we recently switched to using bfd's version.h instead. Once we cut
the 7.7 branch, we'll need the date updated on that branch as well.

I am wondering how you'd like to proceed. The simplest would probably
for you and I to coordinate so that I can let you know when the
active branch changes.

Another option, if we'd like to avoid depending on each other, is
for us to do the update on the branch ourselves. But I think it would
be a shame to be doing so.

One final option that occured to me is to move your script to
sourceware, and get the update done there. Both of us can then
adjust the active branch whenever necessary.

WDYT?

Thanks,
