Hello.

Please notice that we want to review your source code again when you upload /any/ files to our servers....




I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Because of the mailing lists, you need to open a seperat "support request". Thanks for using Savannah.

Regards.

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


At first, why do you want to move the project from kernel.org to Savannah? And do you know that we don't provide any GIT for you? - but CVS and GnuArch....

Or how do you plan to use our services?


At second, if you want to host any source code here, we want to review it, but I don't like to review it via GIT... can you provide us with a tarball at least, please?


Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATION #########

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

Full Name:
----------
  The libunwind project

System Group Name:
-----------------
  libunwind

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  X11 license

Description:
------------
  The libunwind project defines a portable and efficient C programming interface (API) to determine the call-chain of a program. The API additionally provides the means to manipulate the preserved (callee-saved) state of each call-frame and to resume execution at any point in the call-chain (non-local goto). The API supports both local (same-process) and remote (across-process) operation. As such, the API is useful in a number of applications. Some examples include:

o exception handling
    The libunwind API makes it trivial to implement the
    stack-manipulation aspects of exception handling.
o debuggers
    The libunwind API makes it trivial for debuggers to generate
    the call-chain (backtrace) of the threads in a running program.
o introspection
    It is often useful for a running thread to determine its
    call-chain. For example, this is useful to display error
    messages (to show how the error came about) and for performance
    monitoring/analysis.
o efficient setjmp()
    With libunwind, it is possible to implement an extremely
    efficient version of setjmp(). Effectively, the only context
    that needs to be saved consists of the stack-pointer(s).

The current libunwind code is hosted at:

http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libs/libunwind/libunwind.git

The libunwind API and its implementation are licensed under an X11-style license.  The libunwind code currently works best on GNU/Linux for Itanium, but improved support for DWARF-based platforms, such as GNU/Linux for x86 and x86-64 is under active development.  Libunwind can run on non-free OSes (e.g., there is rudimentary support for HP-UX), but that's not a priority.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  None (other than minimal dependencies on the system's C runtime library).
