Sounds good !

No, but following the mailing lists, there are coming in bug reports and patches 
for fixes/enhancements of egcs-1.0.1 and of the current egcs snapshots/cvs tree
mixed altogether.

I was thinking it would be nice to have an archive of patches that can be 
apllied to the last egcs-release, separated from all the patches that can only 
be applied to the snapshots.
I know that for you development guys the snapshots are more important to move
forward, but shouldn't we make the releases as 'bugfree' as possible.
So if there is knowledge from the snapshot tree, that can go into the release 
tree easily, why not give the user a possibility to patch his release instead
of waiting for the next release.

Or is all this even possible by just checking out the release tree from the 
cvs-sources regularly ?

Thanks for the good work,
Jochen
