Re: [cdt-dev] Minutes March Conf Call

And I think that would be fine. People doing host development using cygwin likely only have 6.8 available to them. If they don't they should be upgrading.
The only other case I've seen for cygwin is when vendors use it as a shell for their cross development tools. In that case they need to be responsible for their own testing, or stick with CDI in their products.

I've found confirmation: (1) at

really surprising. I guess that limits what we (CDT) can
test/support.
From:
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.old-versions
Can I use Cygwin Setup to get old versions of packages (like
gcc-2.95)?
Cygwin Setup can be used to install any packages that are on a Cygwin
mirror, which usually includes one version previous to the current one.
The complete list may be searched at
http://cygwin.com/packages/.
There is no complete archive of older packages. If you have a problem
with the current version of a Cygwin package, please report it to the
mailing list using the guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
That said, if you really need an older package, you may be able to find
an outdated or archival mirror by searching the web for an old package
version (for example, gcc2-2.95.3-10-src.tar.bz2), but keep in mind that
this older version will not be supported by the mailing list and that
installing the older version will not help improve Cygwin.

With cygwin, it seems like I can install 6.8 and that's it. I.e, 6.8
appears to be the most recent and the only version available. If anyone
knows differently, please let me know.

Marc, I'm using cygwin with gdb 6.8 (though lately I'm also trying to use
MinGW with gdb 7.0). I'll volunteer to be responsible for Cygwin testing,
and looking into any failing issues. I'll see if I can get older and
never versions of cygwin gdb installed so I can validate more than just
6.8.
