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:username@gcc.gnu.org:/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.
