Re: [patches] A few questions on contributing to eglibc

Hi H.J.

This reply isn't related to your questions (Jim should probably answer
those) but rather to submission of DFP/BID support.  I just wanted to let
you know that Peter Eberlein (my team member) is working with Jim
Blandy right now so we can get libdfp in shape to submit to EGLIBC as
well.  Our general framework is here:

www.penguinppc.org/dev/glibc/dfp.html

Version 0.7 is pretty much what we're going to submit to EGLIBC (plus a few forthcoming patches).

BID specific support will tuck into the existing framework nicely in dfp/sysdeps/

Hi,

I'd like to contribute DFP/BID support to eglibc as we have discussed
at gcc summmit. I have a few questions:

1. I have a glibc paper with the FSF. Do I need a separate one for
eglibc? If yes, can I submit a glibc patch instead of a eglibc patch?
I assume you can take a glibc patch which isn't accepted by glibc.
2. I am behind a firewall. I only access svn respository via svn+ssh.
How can I access eglibc svn respository?

Thanks.
