If anyone else out > there has an opinion on this subject, I'd like to hear it. I think it depends upon what you want. Personally, I'd be interested in seeing a patch that shows the changes that ACT has made. So the best candidate for diffing against would be the version of GDB that you merged with in your most recent merge. OTOH, a patch against the bleeding edge sources gives us a method of obtaining your source tree. Personally, I think it'd just be better for you to drop a tarball someplace if this is what's desired. As I think about it now, I think a tarball is probably the best approach anyway. That, along with a pointer to the version of GDB that you merged against should allow those interested to do their own diffs in whatever why they want... Kevin
