Here are some minutes that Doug collected over the week. Feel free to add or correct.

• Ganymede plan
  • Ganymede will be CDT 5.0
  • Intent to define CDT APIs
    • Some many need to be changed to be good APIs
    • Likely need one more round before freezing (i.e. CDT 6.0)
• Switch the default gdb integration to DSF GDM/MI
  • Make it available as an optional feature (Pawel)
  • Make the CDI/MI optional feature (Doug)
  • Revisit in January which one to include in default CDT packages.
    • Needs to be as functional and good quality by Ganymede.
• Make DSF co-resident in CDT (Mikhail K and Pawel)
  • With a clean UI
• GNU toolchain integration in a optional feature (Doug)
  • At least in the UI (still lots of deep hooks in the core for gcc/gdb)
• Specify which supported toolchains/platforms (Doug)
  • What to do with the bugs
    • Find a way to mark it as an unsupported bug without shutting the door
    • New keyword? Move to enhancement or WONTFIX
• Extension point for breakpoint creation (Pawel)
  • To support non CDT breakpoints on C Resources
• Better way to hook up debuggers to toolchains (Doug & Mikhail S)
• Should we move to subversion?
  • No compelling reason, plug-ins not mature yet
  • So, the answer is not now, but we will keep an eye on it for the future.
• API Management
  • Provisional APIs
  • Visible in packages
  • Move internal to internal
  • Deprecate non API in public packages
  • Document – API contract
  • APIs Guidelines – Jeem
