			Global Maintainers
			   (alphabetic)

Jim Blandy			jimb@redhat.com
Kevin Buettner			kevinb@redhat.com
Andrew Cagney			cagney@gnu.org
J.T. Conklin			jtc@acorntoolworks.com
Fred Fish			fnf@ninemoons.com
Daniel Jacobowitz		dan@debian.org

			Various Maintainers

Note individuals who maintain parts of the debugger need approval to
check in changes outside of the immediate domain that they maintain.

If there is no maintainer for a given domain then the responsibility
falls to a global maintainer.

If there are several maintainers for a given domain then
responsibility falls to the first maintainer.  The first maintainer is
free to devolve that responsibility among the other maintainers.


                        The Obvious Fix Rule

All maintainers listed in this file are allowed to check in obvious
fixes.

An "obvious fix" means that there is no possibility that anyone will
disagree with the change.

A good mental test is "will the person who hates my work the most be
able to find fault with the change" - if so, then it's not obvious and
needs to be posted first. :-)

Something like changing or bypassing an interface is _not_ an obvious
fix, since such a change without discussion will result in
instantaneous and loud complaints.


		Can Commit Without Approval
		       (alphabetic)

The following developers CAN COMMIT changes (and hence approve
patches) to specific sections of GDB:

	Andrew Cagney (powerpc, powerpc-linux)
	Hans-Peter Nilsson (cris)	
	Jeff Johnston (ia64)
	Joel Brobecker (mips)
	Kei Sakamoto (m32r)
	Kevin Buettner (powerpc)
	Orjan Friberg (cris)
	Randolph Chung (pa)
	Ulrich Weigand (s390)


Target Instruction Set Architectures:

The *-tdep.c files.  ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) and OS-ABI
(Operating System / Application Binary Interface) issues including CPU
variants.

The Target/Architecture maintainer works with the host maintainer when
resolving build issues.  The Target/Architecture maintainer works with
the native maintainer when resolving ABI issues.

			Corinna Vinschen	vinschen@redhat.com

All developers recognized by this file can make arbitrary changes to
OBSOLETE targets.

The Bourne shell script gdb_mbuild.sh can be used to rebuild all the
above targets.


Host/Native:

The Native maintainer is responsible for target specific native
support - typically shared libraries and quirks to procfs/ptrace/...
The Native maintainer works with the Arch and Core maintainers when
resolving more generic problems.

The host maintainer ensures that gdb can be built as a cross debugger on
their platform.
