gdb-7.3 branch FROZEN

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to fix the mess I created when I mistyped the branchpoint
date. I'll do that by applying each missing change (except for the
nightly update of the version date) to the branch.  Please refrain
from making changes on the branch until I'm done.

Sorry about that, and thank you!

Groumpf, something happened and CVS apparently did not take into
account the timestamp I gave it.  I think it might have been because
it did not like the format I used to give the timestamp, but as
far as I can tell, the branch got created on the HEAD at the time,
which is pretty much what I wanted to do in practice.  So I got
lucky in the end...

Branch UNFROZEN.  But we need to think of getting off CVS sometime
soon, after all...

Hello everyone,

Please avoid checking any change in in the branch during the next few hours.
I am working on creating the next pre-release off this branch. I will send
a followup message when the branch is open again.

Thank you,

Many of the OpenBSD platforms are currently broken because bfd
breakage.  Failrly trivial to fix, but I haven't found the time to
submit a diff, and I'm not sure I'll manage to have some time for it
soon.

This gdb-7.3 release seems to be cursed! :-(

The pre-release is out, and we'll see what comes out of it.
If nothing else comes up, we might have to make a hard decision,
and release with OpenBSD as a known problem (similar to what we
did after we discovered very late that mips-irix was broken the
day before we released).
