Re: [Fx2lib-devel] fx2lib & stdbool.h

[Dennis M. <djm...@gm...>]

OK, I like the idea of having a couple guys with commit access.  I'll 
add Chris/Dan.

I suppose some of the changes regarding SDCC changes ought to be weighed 
in context with FX2lib versioning.  Perhaps instead of incremental 
revisions, it ought to be versioned somehow to show that a certain 
version is for SDCC 2.8 and another for SDCC 2.9 etc.

Perhaps keeping the master branch for the latest sdcc and then creating 
a branchpoint each time master is superceeded by a new sdcc version 
would work OK.  In short, I'd hate to someone have difficulty using 
fx2lib if their distribution or sdcc they were using wasn't the latest.
