I don't think you can know what "all our platforms" are though. The code should just work on all platforms where the various prerequisites are available; this set of developers will have only partial coverage. Merging Zach's patch is a way to help make *sure* that any bugs which appear can not be specific to OpenOCD. And if anyone is really claiming it's too risky to merge now, I'd conclude that we must only be a week or two from release... _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
