On the other hand, CVS HEAD has pretty much always been reliable to me, so = in the case of GDB that general "release engineering" logic doesn't need to be used. So I guess the first option is good enough for us, and will save some branch maintenance work. > | Suggestion: Make sure that the distros build GDB with Python > | enabled when support is provided in a release. I think that this is a no-brainer for the distros... By the way, thanks for organizing the get-together lunch!
