GDB 6.5 branch on Sun May 14th

Hello,

Now that the last couple of patches I thought were important
enough to
delay 6.5 are in, I was thinking that maybe tomorrow would
be a good
day to use as the start of the 6.5 branch. Any better
suggestion?

Thanks,

Could I sneak in the change to -var-set-format that I
submitted earlier?
(reproduced below).  There must be a chance that Emacs 22
will be released
before the GDB release after 6.5, and then I'll be up and
running.

I am not opposed, but remember that you can always port this
change
to the branch if the patch is deemed safe enough but is
committed
too late.

Yes, that's a better idea.  Nick, I will respond to your
questions
when I have another spare day to review GDB patches, but
please
remember that I objected to the patch; some of your
responses to not
make sense to me.

Sounds good to me.  I have only one more thing tentatively
planned
for 6.5 (renaming qPart:auxv to not conflict with qP) and
it's not
heartbreaking if it doesn't get done.

Keep dreaming...  (Not that I'm opposed to get this patch
in, if
others don't object).

OK, I had thoght you considered the change to be reasonable.
 Lets leave it
till after the release then, when we can discuss how to
print values more
fully.  As Eli points out, its pretty pointless trying to
predict Emacs's
release anyway.

I'll get to it before the release if I can; it's just that
GDB builds
up such a backlog of unreviewed patches that it takes a full
day or
more every time I get started.
