Can you develop this more in the open to allow contribution, facititate further
review and make merging it to 4.4 less pain?  It looks like that if the patch
is not easy to compartmentalize then a branch would be appropriate, though
also patches would be fine.  I find myself in a situation where I would need to
start doing the same work as you (possibly).

Thanks,
Richard.

Sure!  I'm very glad you asked ;-)

I've just created the var-tracking-assignments branch, and I'll check
my pending patches into it over the course of the day.  Some of them
are also applicable to mainline, so I'll submit them as such; others
are branch-only for now, and I'll use ChangeLog.vta for them.

I can send you the patches in private if you'd like to get your hands
dirty right away, just let me know ;-)


Here's the patch for the web pages that I'm checking in:

No need to hurry, I'll happily wait for the patches to arrive on the branch.

Richard.

This is bug #31955 in Bugzilla. It is rather annoying, because the  
online installation instructions only cover mainline (see bug #32927).

September entry on mailing list pages broken

2007-10-01 Thread Volker Reichelt
Hi,

the starting pages for the mailing lists like
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc  or  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches
are broken. To be more precise, the entry generated for September is
corrupted: It shows a strange size, and the link points to a wrong location.

  * October, 2007
  * September, 2007 [mbox-formatted archive (/pub/gcc/mail-archives bytes)]
  * August, 2007 [mbox-formatted archive (510.0 Kbytes)]
  * July, 2007 [mbox-formatted archive (783.5 Kbytes)]
  [etc.]

Can anybody fix this?

Regards,
Volker

I forgot to mention when this was being discussed that I actually have
used these before (I did not the links on the website linked to the
ftp site).
