As far as I know, for an existing contributor (legal stuff sorted out and write-privileges in subversion) there are 3 steps: 1. Announce it. I think you already did that. 2. Update http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html#devbranches. This is easier than it seems. http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html explains all but basically you will do: cvs -z 9 -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gcc co wwwdocs cd wwwdocs emacs htdocs/svn.html cvs -q diff (to check your changes) cvs up cvs ci htdocs/svn.html 3. Create the branch: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnBranch These 3 steps may be performed in any order. Cheers, Manuel.
