I was wondering if we should delete these directories. I checked with the insight list (see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2006-q1/msg00111.html) about blt and iwidgets and they seem to be ameniable to removing blt and iwidgets. blt was never used by insight. iwidgets might have been used, but if it was it was five or so years ago. I looked at some of the files under both blt and iwidgets and there are no insight or gdb tags on any of the files. My understanding is that mmalloc is also no longer used but it does have a lot of gdb tags on the files and it has been in use more recently. At the top level ChangeLog I find: 2005-02-08 Andrew Cagney * MAINTAINERS: Delete reference to dejagnu/ and mmalloc/ from the gdb/ section. Update GDB's URL. So I think that is when mmalloc stopped being used. The dejagnu directory seems to have already been removed but the mmalloc directory is still there. So, should these three directories (blt, iwidgets, mmalloc) be deleted? My main interest is to be able to tell the GCC list that we can update libtool because everything in the GCC and src trees is now using autoconf 2.5 or later. So if we want to leave these directories alone, with the knowledge that they are no longer used, that would probably be good enough for my purposes. But if they are no longer used, maybe we should just remove them. Steve Ellcey sje@cup.hp.com
