This message is just to inform the OI developers that I'm working on gdb now. It will be a version upgrade from 7.10.1 to 8.0 and a python upgrade from 2.7 to 3.7 . Gdb version 8.0 is the Oracle Solaris freeware version, used in the current Solaris. I know that the current gdb version is 10.2, but 8.0 comes with a set of patches that are known to work with Solaris, and will likely work with OI.
Note that the gdb presently included with OI has 63 patches. I'm not about to review all of those. Version 8.0 has only eight patches. All of them seem to work. All I have to do before creating a PR is to do a bit of testing with the new gdb. The important thing is to remove the current dependancy on python-2, so we can get rid of that version of python. I also intend to try some more recent versions of gdb to see if they also work with the Solaris patches. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
