Hello all,
Some of you might be noticed and yes, "master" branch of GNU Binutils is
currently broken, in an attempt to create real "Binutils 2.41 release"
commit on the repository.
Nick and I worked on creating a commit corresponding real Binutils 2.41
release and I shared the detailed procedure to Nick (which I tested on
my environment). This procedure should have occurred on the
"binutils-2_41" tag but... actually occurred on the master branch,
breaking the branch.
Since no commits since commit 675b9d612cc5 ("2.41 Release sources") are
pushed yet, we can restore the original changes if we revert this commit
relatively easily.
Running "git revert HEAD" on the current master (**until no one else
push a commit**) branch will create a default commit message **exactly**
looking like this (including the commit hash) and make sure that this
default commit message is correct:
> Revert "2.41 Release sources"
>
> This reverts commit 675b9d612cc59446e84e2c6d89b45500cb603a8d.
Any global maintainer can do this recovery procedure and I will do that
if one of the global maintainers approve me to do that.
I apologize for breaking the branch and I sincerely need help recovering
the repository.
Regards,
Tsukasa
