Ramp up documents

Ramp up documents

[Sean Chen]

Hi,

Do we have some ramp up documents on how to participate in the
development of GDB besides “GDB Internals”? Do we have the list for
the ongoing subtasks as well as developers who are working on them? I
appreciate your help if you can throw me a hint.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Sean Chen

There are some ideas in the wiki:

Hi Jie,

Thanks. It’s helpful.

Do we have more detailed information? For example, reversible
debugging TODO list shows that MIPS and ARM port is ongoing, but it
doesn’t contain the information on the developers and status. Could
you throw me a hint on how to get this kind of information? Thanks.

Best Regards,

For ongoing details, this mailing list and gdb-patches mailing list are 
great resources. You can search for the latest discussions and patches 
on the projects you are interested. If you cannot find the information 
you want, you can always ask on this mailing list. The developers who 
work on the projects will answer you. I'm not familiar with the projects 
you mentioned. So I cannot help here. Sorry.

Thanks for remind me.

I am working on MIPS porting.   Nobody is working on ARM.  I will post
it to wiki.

BTW, I think ask the question in maillist and irc is not a bad idea.

Thanks,
Hui

Hi Hui,

That’s great. Thanks.

This technique is really excellent and I am very interested in it. I
will first search the mailing list to build a concept and see whether
I can do something on ARM.

Currently, I have got the entrance to GDB wiki, the project on
SourceForge and a slide by you. I appreciate your help if you have
other useful documents at hand.

Best Regards,

In addition to the project ideas on the wiki, another way to get started
is to fix a bug.  There are plenty to be found in bugzilla.
