There will be no 5.1.X release with X != 0. We have a version scheme change and

I knew there was some discussion about using this model, I was not aware this
was the agreed path. I am fine with this approach and support it.

We need something similar in the new engineering guide.
Yes. Should the wiki page [1] be updated to make it clear the approach we are
taking until we have an engineering doc?

I updated:

What do you mean with separate prefixes? I doubt that you can build a RTEMS 4.1
with the tool chain of RTEMS 4.10 and vice versa.
Using the gcc approach changes this and what you say makes sense. In this
context I was out by a dot number.

/opt/rtems/5/bin/X-rtems5-gcc
/opt/rtems/6 (maybe with the new build system)
/opt/rtems/7/bin/X-rtems7-gcc
I am looking at the parallel install issue (#3083) and unfortunately a rather
complex fix to it I am attempting to find the simplest path into the build
system and stumbled across this in cpukit/aclocal/rtems-top.m4:

  AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT([/opt/rtems-][_RTEMS_API])

Does this need to change to:

  AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT([/opt/rtems/][_RTEMS_API])

?

Yes, I think this is more in line with:

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/installation/prefixes-sandboxing.html#project-sandboxing

In this manual:


|/bd/rtems/4.11.0/tools|
   Production prefix for RTEMS 4.11.0 compiler, debuggers and tools.
|/bd/rtems/4.11.0/bsps|
   Production prefix for RTEMS 4.11.0 Board Support Packages (BSPs).

What should be the content of "tools" and "bsps"?
