Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 12:43 am Post subject: Brief question about PPC vs Intel patches
I'm sure some others will have this question, too, so posting here....
We now have two "versions" (builds, really) of Neo, one for PPC and one for Intel. I'm assuming that their codebase is exactly the same (less assembler and compiler bridges and any processor #ifdefs) and that any fix for either is committed and appears in the next patch for both (if it's relevant).
In other words, while none of the fixes in the latest Intel patch apply to PPC because they're all Intel-specific, do some of the fixes in the PPC patch (that appear to be generic problems, like the monitor stuff or the missing bits of Help) also appear in the latest Intel patch?
It's not crucial to know this, but at the moment when we're doing releases "out of sync" with each other it's helpful to know if only for the relnotes.

So far, the patches in both platforms use the same code. In other words, I built the latest Intel and PPC patches at the same time using the latest code in CVS. Granted, the patch numbers are different for each platform, but both are built from the same code.
