Check the version number, it's still "3.1 20011127 (experimental)"
which marks a CVS release. Putting out a CVS release - marked as one
- is no problem but quite usefull for testing of GCC and I appreciate
everybody's aktion for broader testing.
But it might be better to change the spec file to say e.g. "The gcc
package contains a CVS snapshot (development version) of the GNU
Compiler Collection version 3.1." so that nobody gets confused.
Looking at the different patches, there're some that should get
back into GCC (some are already in, the snapshot is a month old and
patches are newer).
I've especially noticed this one (gcc31-2.96-RH-tests.patch):
2001-09-05 Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
35 non-commited tests from gcc 2.96-RH:
* gcc.c-torture/compile/20010824-1.c: New test.
[...]
Jakub, can you take care that this one - and the other patches - get
some review on gcc-patches?
Thanks,
Andreas
