I suspect re@ is going to need to figure out a way to deal with doing releases
on multiple platforms more efficiently. It was hard enough getting two
platforms (i386/alpha.. but alpha was mostly dormant). Four is going to be
more of a challenge, especially when 3 are active.
Since the chages above are ia64-specific (either in ia64-only files, or in
#ifdefs), I think the right thing to do there is to merge those few changes
onto the branch and be done with it. If i386, alpha or sparc64 releases
miss the ia64 changes, then too damn bad - it isn't a problem there.
The other alternative is to have per-platform branches of the dp2 tree, and
that isn't a pretty thought either.
Cheers,
-Peter
