Re: Binutils - FFS contribution


Hi Swami,

Could you please suggest the process of submitting the a new port to FSF.

Once you have your new port working you should submit it to this mailing list. Ideally this submission should include:


  * A patch created against the current binutils sources as found in the
    CVS repository.  If the patch file is large, then it is helpful to
    break it up into per-directory patches and submit them separately.

  * New testcases for any features specific to your new port.  In
    particular this should include a new GAS testsuite subdirectory to
    test the assembly and disassembly of instructions for your target.

  * ChangeLog entries for each of the directories that you are patching.
    These should be submitted as plain text, rather than as part of the
    patch(es) and they should follow the conventions exhibited by other
    entries in the ChangeLogs.

  * An indication of whether you will be willing to act as a maintainer
    for this port.  Ideally the creator of a new port will act as the
    maintainer as well, but this does not always happen.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the binutils.

Cheers
  Nick
