The one question that might still be open is whether there is still work to be done regarding the "target:" default sysroot. As far as I know, there has been some awesome work between Pedro and Gary to significantly reduce the time it takes to perform the file transfers. There was also the question of being able to interrupt an on-going file tranfer, and I saw some promising patches, although Sandra reported that the quick-and-dirty proof-of-concept left GDB in an inconsistent state after interruption... There was also a proposal to revert the default sysroot value back to "", with some added logic to make the "target:" implicit in some situations; but, as far as I know, this has been abandoned (and looking back, I would agree). So, what do we still need to do before we can release? - Finish the work on being able to interrupt the file transfer? - There were some discussions about displaying a warning, and I don't see anything in the current sources; are we still thinking about that? Anything else? Thank you! -- Joel
