Better yet, try something > like gdb/snapshots/gdb-5.1-release-branch/. I had some reservations over calling something 5.1 but I think I've overcome that fear. So gdb/snapshots/5.1-branch (I think release and gdb are redundant). I'll tweek the scripts for this ready for tonight. -- Next question is gdb/snapshots/gdb+dejagnu.tar.bz2. Hmm, at present it is a hard link :-/ If it was a symlink would ftp shadow systems be smart enough to copy the link and not the file? Eliminate this and GDB can run nightly snaps of both the 5.1-branch and current without a significant increase in shadow size. Andrew
