package error about gdb.html.tar.gz

package error about gdb.html.tar.gz

[asmwarrior]

Hi, I found a package error, that in the page:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/

There is a link named : gdb.html.tar.gz 19520 KB in section "Debugging with GDB"
I just download it and found that it contains all the GDB source code, is that a package error?
I think this file should only contains the html achieve of the document.

Thanks.

Ping, no body notices this error?

Thanks for the report. I've checked in a fix, which showed that
the file went down from 20 or so MB down to 700KB. I should take
effect during tonight's cycle.

It also allowed me to notice that the "annotate" and "stabs" docs
were no longer updated. Not surprising that we never noticed,
since these are both obsolete technologies...

Hi, Joel, I just found that the html package in the release link:

https://sourceware.org/gdb/download/onlinedocs/

is still 20M, would you like to fix it? Or fix it in the next release?

BTW: The html package in below pages are OK.
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/ (recent branch)
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/ (current)

Thanks. I regenerated them, and they should be OK now.
