Hi Stefan,
Thanks for doing all this, particularly Peter's labour in synchronizing.
For a long time, the problem with the sourceware components (binutils,
gdb, cgen newlib etc) has been that they have been mirrored as
individual tools, rather than as a single tree. However the upstream
tree is in CVS, and uses CVS modules, which is why you get multiple
copies of opcodes, bfd, include directories, even though in the upstream
CVS they are the same. This can make it really hard to keep changes to
these libraries in step when working in git, and can make
synchronization a nightmare.
Fortunately this is now solved. There is a GitHub mirror of the entire
sourceware CVS tree, updated every 3 hours:
git://github.com/embecosm/sourceware.git
Hopefully this should make synchronization with upstream much easier in
the future. Thanks to Simon Cook who set this up.
Best wishes,
Jeremy
