Proposed obsoletions

OK, here's my proposed obsoletion list. * arc-*-elf* (only arc port) No maintainer. Still. * alpha*-*-unicosmk* No real update since 2002. If rth, the lone alpha maintainer, is actually maintaining it, I guess it should stay; it's not in bad shape. But does it really need fixproto? *

Killing fixproto (possible target obsoletion)

2005-06-05 Thread Nathanael Nerode
So here are the targets using fixproto. I've attempted to classify them. Very tentatively. Fixproto is very nice in some ways, but it's only necessary on systems with quite old system headers, and it interacts in a confusing and obnoxious way with fixincludes, which prevents some highly desirable

Well! I really like Zack's proposed conversion plan in the PDF, but particularly the order, and of that particularly the early stages. I see no problem with the "top level" separation into entirely distinct base classes, of the sort which require explicit work to treat as a union. And I don't see

Apologies for committing. I committed before I heard from you saying "No, don't", but apparently well after you had sent the message. My mail receiving must have been a bit off. :-/ Indeed, as I see from another message, you considered putting "part 1" as an early project and "part 2" as a stag

Just to be clear, I do not want to criticize Mark or the Project system in general. I quite *like* the project sequencing idea. I submitted the libada-gnattools-branch project as two phases, and I think any major changes from the second phase are perfectly suited to wait for stage 2. Furthermore

Re: GCC 4.1 Projects

The libada-gnattools-branch suffers severely from having to be maintained in parallel with mainline (since it's a rearrangment of existing code). Another two months of waiting will necessitate many hours of totally unneccessary work on my part. The longer the existing portion remains on a branch,
