Just curious to know whether I will > get any notification if my patch get accepted or rejected. Your patch will get reviewed (by anybody, but normally by a maintainer). They may require changes to the patch. Only a maintainer can grant you approval to commit your patch. The CONTRIBUTE file in the gdb/ source directory gives a good overview. Sometimes, patches can be missed. I generally "ping" patches after a week if no review has been forthcoming. Sometimes the maintainer work-load is very high, so some things get missed/forgotten. It is perfectly acceptable to "ping" a patch after a reasonable time, and you will not be breaking any etiquette by doing so. Finally, questions like this generally go to gdb@sourceware.org, and patch discussion about actual patches to gdb-patches@sourceware.org. These rules are very loosely applied, so you have done nothing wrong. I just thought this would be a good time to point out the other list! Cheers Phil
