The branch commit policy is: @itemize @bullet @item The @file{gdb/MAINTAINERS} file still holds. @item Don't fix something on the branch unless/until it is also fixed in the trunk. If this isn't possible, mentioning it in the @file{gdb/PROBLEMS} file is better than committing a hack. @item When considering a patch for the branch, suggested criteria include: Does it fix a build? Does it fix the sequence @kbd{break main; run} when debugging a static binary? @item The further a change is from the core of @value{GDBN}, the less likely the change will worry anyone (e.g., target specific code). @item Only post a proposal to change the core of @value{GDBN} after you've sent individual bribes to all the people listed in the @file{MAINTAINERS} file @t{;-)} @end itemize @emph{Pragmatics: Provided updates are restricted to non-core functionality there is little chance that a broken change will be fatal. This means that changes such as adding a new architectures or (within reason) support for a new host are considered acceptable.} Andrew
