GDB or GDB Manual

GDB or GDB Manual

[Richard Stallman]

If you have to choose between working on the GDB manual, and getting
out the new GDB release, would you please for the moment give priority
to the manual?

While it is good to get out the next GDB release as soon as possible,
a few weeks of delay is not a disaster.  The current release is still
available--we are not "out of GDB".  But we are out of GDB manuals,
and it isn't feasible to print just a few of them.  We need to either
reprint the old edition or wait until the new one is ready.

I apologize for the delay in getting the release out.  It is about ready
to go.  In fact the reason I haven't put the final snapshot up is that
I'm verifying that the manual can be run through TeX correctly right now.

I will have something on-line tonight (possibly late tonight) and will
send the location to you and Brian Youmans.  The manual in tonight's
snapshot and the manual in GDB 4.17 will be identical.
