Which branches are CURRENT and NEXT coming from?

Is CURRENT going to be gdb 5.2.1 from gdb_5_2-branch,
with NEXT coming from the trunk?

I'm trying to get a feel for how active the 5.2 branch will be.

Er, yes.

My expectation is:
- 5.2.1 from 5.2 branch in ~1-2 months
- ``current'' would be the 5.3 branch, ~4 months
- ``next'' would be the 5.4/6.0 branch, ~8 months

                   CURRENT                  NEXT

However, given GDB has actually managed two releases in 6 months and a 
recent thread on this list suggests GCC is considering slowing down to 8 
month schedules, now is proably the time to ``re-negotiate'' GDB's 
release schedule.

enjoy,
Andrew

Do we want to persue the 6.0 idea you mentioned earlier?  Perhaps six
months rather than four?

That would look like:

GDB is on a ~6 month (26 week) release cycle.
                    CURRENT                  NEXT

if the releases are too infrequent, the process of removing old code 
gets slowed down a little (but I guess I can live with that).

Anyone else?

Andrew

FYI, this is an updated guess.

                   CURRENT                  NEXT
