Yann> In the process, an 'a' was appended to the version strings, and Yann> unlike the binutils people, the gdb folks are not inclined in Yann> providing legacy symlinks: Yann> http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00036.html Yann> So, this patch fixes the issue by renaming version strings. It is to be Yann> noted that, although the versions got bumped to include an 'a' at the end, Yann> the directory contained in the tarball is still named after the version Yann> string without the 'a'. For example: Yann> - old version : 6.6 Yann> - new version : 6.6a Yann> - tarball name : gdb-6.6a.tar.bz2 Yann> - directory name : gdb-6.6/ Yann> In fact, it does not pose any problem for buildroot, as the extract process Yann> explicitly mkdirs the directory to extract into, *and* strips the first level Yann> of the tree extracted from the tarball. Committed with minor changes to apply to head + I prefer to not change the config symbols, only the tarball versions. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
