Hi Jeremy:
> The GNU tools are held at: > > http://opencores.org/ocsvn/openrisc/openrisc/trunk/gnu-src The gnu-src repository is huge and takes a long time to check out, especially under Cygwin. These are the some of the subdirectories: bd-elf bd-elf-gdb binutils-2.18.50 binutils-2.20.1 gcc-4.2.2 gcc-4.5.1 gdb-6.8 gdb-7.1 gdb-7.2 newlib-1.17.0 newlib-1.18.0 I don't see why the average developer should download both the old and the new versions of GDB, Newlib and GCC every time. Some key components, like the or1ksim, must be downloaded separately anyway. I would remind any new developer that the OpenCores Subversion repositories are behind a registration wall that wants some personal information from you, probably for marketing purposes. There is no anonymous access, so they have full control about who is allowed to look at the code inside. If anything happens to the foundation/company/whatever behind these servers, there are no public mirrors that I know of, so at least the check-in history would probably be lost. By the way, Github can emulate a Subversion server, so users do not even need to learn git, and Subversion repositories can add external references to Github repos as if they were normal Subversion repositories, see here: https://github.com/blog/966-improved-subversion-client-support Regards, R.
