More code code dropping

More code code dropping

[Paul N. Hilfinger]

Ada Core Techologies, Inc., is also in possession of a large set of 
modifications to GDB to make it Ada aware, which require quite a bit more
processing to turn into patches.  So, like Apple, we'd like to deposit
this heap o'code in a spot more convenient to the general public.  Not having
done this before, however, I'd appreciate knowing the appropriate procedure
for making such a deposit.

Can I suggest grabbing a current gdb snapshot from 
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/ and then create a 
diff and tar ball using that as the reference point reference.  If you 
can make that available somewhere (posting here) I'll then pull it into 
the same directory as Apple's dropping.

After that, doing something like importing that tar ball into a vendor 
branch might be useful.

enjoy,
