[parisc-linux] GCC CVS strange update?

[jsoe0708]

Hi all,

Yesterday morning I do a cvs update of what I believe till last week being
gcc-3.1
(CVS/Tag == Tgcc-3-1-branch) but gcc/gcc/version.c shows me now 3.2 (well
the current development CVS being now 3.3)?

What do I wrong? (would I have to define the branch parameter each time I
do an update?)

Thanks in advance for advise,
    Joel

ah, you haven't been following the gcc mailing list.  due to a pressing
need to change the c++ ABI, the current 3.1 development tree has been
renamed to 3.2 and the erstwhile 3.2 development line has been renamed
to 3.3.

3.1.1 has just been released.  3.2 will be released in the near future
and it will be identical to 3.1.1 except for the updates to the c++
ABI.  The 3.1 branch is now dead.  Regression fixing will continue
on the 3.2 branch after the first release.  The update to the 3.1
branch was made to accomodate the schedule of other projects (e.g.,
OpenOffice).  Since dwarf2 exception support isn't in 3.2, I doubt
this will affect hppa-linux much.

dwarf2 exception support isn't in 3.2 for hppa?
I'm confused, I believed that dwarf2 exception support wasn't
goin to be in 3.1, but surely in 3.2? 

Dave, please say this a typo :)

c.

The renumbering has confused everyone (as I rather thought it might).
Old plan:	New:

3.1		3.1
3.1.1		3.1.1
3.1.2		3.2
3.2		3.3

So everything which used to read `this will be in gcc 3.2' should now read
`this will be in gcc 3.3'.  And everything which was `not in 3.1' is now
`not in 3.1 or 3.2 either'.

Although the 3.1 branch is nominally closed, it would seem possible
that somebody might want a release after 3.1.1 with the old c++ abi.
Thus, a new branch had to be created.

It's not a typo.  What was 3.2 is now 3.3.  As was noted, 3.2
is going to be identical to 3.1.1 except for a c++ abi change.
3.2 should be out this week barring unforeseen problems.  The
3.1 branch has only been open for regression fixing for some
time now.

3.3 is scheduled to go into stage3 (bug fixing) on Aug. 15.
The 3.3 release is scheduled for Dec. 15.  The numbering change
hasn't affected the schedule for the next release from the
mainline.

Clear?
