I find your "Introduction to the Cygnus Tree" to be riddled with incorrect statements. I do not understand why you apparently made no attempt to investigate the facts before publicly releasing a thoroughly inaccurate document. Cygnus, as a company, never has been the official FSF-appointed maintainer of *ANY* GNU Project package. Daily and weekly snapshots of the various packages (gcc, gas, gdb, and binutils) were available to all active developers prior to the public CVS repositories; they were not developed solely by Cygnus or the FSF behind closed doors. EGCS was not run by Cygnus and characterizing it as competition with FSF's gcc project is just one of numerous places where the description is far from objective. The hosting of the gcc.gnu.org site by Cygnus/Red Hat is not a "dirty little secret". Whatever ax you have to grind, I would appreciate if you would take it elsewhere instead of applying your prism to everyone else. I personally find your terminology and inferences highly offensive. Spreading this sort of disinformation does not help the Free Software Movement or help encourage a unified source tree and CVS repository for GNU toolchain packages. The various maintainers and steering committees are not composed of public relations experts, so we probably have been less communicative and less quick to refute incorrect rumours than we should have been. Filling in the missing information with conspiracies and accepting the negative rumours is a normal human instinct, but easily resolved with a little bit of investigation before producing a draft document. I would appreciate if you would demonstrate some comprehension and productive involvement before you start patting yourself on the back for getting things rolling. David ------ Want more information?
