Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 16:40:00 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.39 X-SW-Source: 2004-04/txt/msg00121.txt.bz2 I can see that I would need to checkout the sources from cvs myself. But my confusion has to do with how to pick what versions to grab. I expect that I would want to grab the gdb alias module at the 6.1 release tag. But now I'm not sure how to pick which versions of the naked-ld, naked-gas and naked-binutils to grab. Grabbing from the head doesn't seem like an option since I need to have code that is at least thought to be stable and it would be nearly impossible for me to upgrade my versions of the sources later if I couldn't generate diffs against a tag. What I was hoping was that gdb depended on a specific "release" of the shared components so that it would be possible to pick a common baseline between gdb and binutils. So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest how I would go about picking these versions, that is unless I got something completely wrong?

If you want to do this your best bet will be to take a snapshot from the combined CVS tree rather than using release tarballs. Otherwise, combining them is quite difficult, because all the shared directories evolve. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
