Re: [patch/rfc] Add meaningful section titles to PROBLEMS


As David C pointed out, "regressions since 5.3" is factually wrong,
anyways -- the deficiences in that section have always been in gdb.

I'm in favor of keeping "regressions since 6.0" because those bugs
really are regressions since 6.0, as demonstrated by testing.
Most users of gdb 6.1 will be existing users of gdb 6.0 so they
are going to be interested in what problems to expect when upgrading.

Michael,


As I stated in my cover note, gdb/1560 for instance is a regression since GDB _5.0_. Trying to list regressions is of little value.

We need to make judgement calls here and identify the issues that are going to hurt the user (and provide workarounds?). Giving this file meaningful titles (so users don't have to wade through irrelevances such as gdb/1512) is a first step.

I'm willing to abide by whatever Eli, the maintainer, decides.

I don't know who the maintainer is, however doco and releng should be "on the same page".

* PROBLEMS: Add general section titles, remove references to
specific releases.
