Sounds reasonable. I would suggest to update the bug-gdb link to the correct server at least for the moment. https://sourceware.org/gdb/mailing-lists/ What do you think? I don't know who has access to the web page. I can submit a patch if that would be supported. Probably better to just link to the archive, and clarify it is an old archive "archive of old bug-gdb mailing list" Note, this link is the archive, not the listinfo (so as not to encourage anyone to post to it, or try and join) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gdb Cheers, Jonny
