Re: [cdt-dev] FW: [cdt-patch] Patch applied to 1.2.1 branch

Yes.
For example, in CDT 1.1 and other past releases, we've accomodate folks
by applying patches months after the release.

It is probably, in term of Eclipse/CDT release cycle. I do not think
folks here, have time/resources for another 1.2.x.
The bulk of the effort is on CDT-2.0 and catching with Eclipse-3.0.
But for compagnies building on top of the 1.2.1, patch will be
applied if appropriate(see below).
"2.0" may be too far away or a major ".0" release may be view as too risky,
so we accomodate if possible.

In the past, we've accepted bug fixes(small patches) to a release branch
to accomodate users and ISVs. For example, in the CDT-1.1 lots of fixes
been added to the debugger from Tensilica(Chris) after the release.
Some were turn down, since they involve major changes not appropriate to a branch.
To be concrete, the debugger. If you send some quick/small-fixes(low risk), we will apply,
if your patch rewrites the entire interface of gdb and break the API .... probably not.
