While the release process for this branch started as the quietest ever for me, the number of identified blocking issues eventually rose to about 3 times the number of issues identified in the previous release process. We're down to 3 entries in the TODO list before 7.8 release, so Thank You to everyone involved in the fixes getting us there. The 3 entries are: [Doug/Pedro] Asynchronous + all-stop problematic on gdbserver (being debated as not critical for 7.8, and I think I saw a patch from Doug to help the user in case of problem) [Doug] /usr/share/gdb/{guile,python}/ gets installed even --without-{guile,python} NTH - not serious, nice to have only [Doug] Precompile scheme files NTH - not critical, but just a bit more important than "nice to have" Issue #1 looks like it's on its way to being mitigated, and in the meantime isn't critical. Issue #2 is "nice to have", and issue #3 is "important". Doug - any thoughts on when we might a fix, at least for issue #3? I propose that we take issue #2 out of the mix. We've been doing this for Python files too, so it could be argued as not being a regression. I propose I make a second pre-release tomorrow morning, or even tonight. That should give people some time to re-test. I'm away next week, but hopefully by the time I come back, we'll be ready to make that release. Thoughts? -- Joel
