Hi Guys,
OK, so the plan is that the branch for the 2.39 release will be
cut on Friday July 8th (just before I go on vacation). All being
well the release itself will happen in the first weekend of August
(Sat 6th probably).
If you have new features that you want to get into the 2.39 release
now is the time to submit them - or ping for a review if they have
already been submitted.
Once the branch is cut the usual rules will apply - bug fixes and
doc updates only - although this time around I am also going to ask
that any maintainer who wishes to do so review and approve/reject
patches for the branch.
I will be away July 11..July 22 but as soon as I get back I will be
on patch review duty for as much of the time as I can.
with today's trunk, I see regressions on i686-linux-gnu and mips64el-linux-gnu:
i386:
W: [ld-elf/elf.exp] REGRESSION (UNSUPPORTED -> FAIL): static init array mixed
trunk 20220622 didn't show that.
mips64el:
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): simple objcopy of executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run objcopy of executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run stripped executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run stripped executable with saving a symbol
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): keep only debug data
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): simple objcopy of debug data
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): NOBITS
sections retain sh_link field
All of the above might be explained by changes in your testing
environment. eg. Installing compilers and libraries for the affected
targets.
