Post Cygnus, DejaGnu has never had any funding, and working on it rarely got any support from management or clients. It's been relying on volunteer labor for over 20 years... I totally understand GDB developers extending things for GDB as the most efficient way to get their job done. But while there is some activity, it'd be nice to migrate those improvements where possible to DejaGnu for the next release. Thanks for being open to getting this cleaned up sooner than later. - rob -
