egcs-1.1 branch made

[Jeffrey A Law <law at cygnus dot com>]

We have made a branch in the source tree for egcs-1.1.  Depending on your
situation you have three choices for handling your CVS source tree.

  1. Do nothing new.  Your existing CVS tree will continue to track the
     mainline sources.

  2. Track just the egcs-1.1 release.  You can convert your existing
     CVS tree to track the egcs-1.1 release with the command:
     cvs update -regcs_1_1_branch

  3. Track both the egcs-1.1 release and the development sources.  You
     will need to check out the egcs-1.1 release in a new directory
     using the command
     cvs co -regcs_1_1_branch


Considering the primary focus of the project is on the egcs-1.1 release,
option #2 or #3 is recommended.

FTP snapshots will track the egcs-1.1 release only.  After egcs-1.1 is 
released, snapshots will return to tracking the mainline sources.

--

All patches for the egcs-1.1 release branch need to be approved.  We
are only accepting bugfix patches for the egcs-1.1 release.

You can still submit patches for the mainline sources.   However, since
our concentration is on the egcs-1.1 release patches for the mainline
tree may be delayed.

This message is available in HTML form from the egcs-1.1 release page.

ps.  I will make a snapshot from the branch tomorrow.  It's too late
for me to safely treak the snapshot scripts to use the egcs-1.1 branch.
