I would feel competent to be junior maintainer. Well, you're actually doing your job to a tee. You made a decision based on the best available information, and then when more information came to light, revised the decision, and learn't from the experience :-) (I've now posted fixes to both signals.exp and sigstep.exp) As for a separate signals directory, this code is really testing infrun.c (ya), and makes for some fundamental functionality (should have been fixed working 10+ years ago), so I think still belongs in gdb.base. Besides I've been naming all the files sig*.exp so that they are easy to identify. I think its better to reserve new directories for things that are clearly separate -> stabs edge cases, dwarf edge cases, C++ lang stuff, ... We could too easily end up with a pedantic debate over which directory a test belongs (...) :-) > If we don't do that, then I'm going to try something new in gdb > maintainership: delegation.
