Well, such agreement for those files not in GCC (we already have GCC as master for libiberty and libdecnumber, for example) - unless and until we move the non-shared parts of include/ to a separate directory, which I think would be better. (See for my comments on the division of include/, with an unresolved question about whether anything not shared with GCC is used by anything outside of binutils+gdb.) > For other projects not to be severely inconvenienced (i.e. to > actually leave them free to choose) we assume here that the src > CVS repo remains updated regarding shared files.

I consider it necessary that shared files get updated in all the repositories between which they are shared (with the possibility of removing files when no longer needed by anything in a particular repository). -- Joseph S.
