Re: [linuxtools-dev] [patch] add architecture support for arm and ia64

[Alexander Kurtakov <akurtako@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthias,
For Eclipse IPLog purposes we need every patch to be delivered as a bugzilla 
entry. See http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-log.php 

Very good idea for the eclipse-build-config but I don't think I can  find the 
time to work on this soon. 

Regards, 
Alexander
