Why do we not move the tool chain patches back to the RTEMS sources? I
think it would be nice if you can check out a particular RTEMS version
and then use the RSB and say: build me the tool chain for this version.
I am ok with the INI file that defines the tools for a release being held in
RTEMS and the build system checking the tools however at this point in time I
do not think is it a good idea to move everything into RTEMS. I have not given
the idea much consideration but I see issues with the validation process. For
example the tools and RTEMS can move independently of each other and on head
this is a little more difficult however with a release things are much more
stable. This means a dot point release of RTEMS does not require a dot point
version of tools.
My view may change as what we have moved too settles and maybe I am just
hesitant to move too quickly here.
In case you have an RTEMS release and then a tool chain patch change is
necessary, can't you simply do this update in the RTEMS release branch? You
need a branch update anyway to bring in the new INI/XML file describing the
current tool chain intended for this RTEMS version.
