The GNU Toolchain community works with the FSF via a + working together fund (https://www.fsf.org/working-together/fund) + to support the development of the GNU Toolchain directly. + The Core Toolchain Infrastructure project is distinct from the + GNU Project and the FSF. + +* Q: How does this project relate to the GCC Compile Farm Project + (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm)? + + * A: The GCC Compiler Farm is a unique resource for the GNU Toolchain + and provides interactive systems for developers to manually test on + a wide variety of hardware and software configurations. This is not + exactly the same set of requirements that the community might have + for securing a supply chain, or using modern CI/CD workflows. + +* Q: How will the composition of the Core Toolchain infrastructure project + reflect the communities it supports? + + * A: Members of the GNU Toolchain community will always be invited to + become members of the technical advisory cuncil for the project. + +* Q: What is the composition of the project steering committee? + + * A: The project steering committee will be composed of sponsoring + members of the Linux Foundation and members of the GNU Toolchain + community. + +* Q: What does the project TAC do? + + * A: The TAC takes input from the GNU Toolchain community and works + with the members to, implement, and resolve prioritized requirements. + +* Q: Is the GNU Toolchain development model going to change? + + * A: No. The aim of the project is to provide additional infrastructure + for the community that is being made available to support the + GNU Toolchain. All development changes will always be driven by the + community. + +* Q: Is Sourceware (https://sourceware.org/) going to be deprecated? + + * A: The GNU Toolchain Infrastructure project is distinct from Sourceware. + The intent is to move critical infrastructure from Sourceware to the + Core Toolchain Infrastructure project to provide paid services. + +* Q: Who can use the new infrastructure? + + * A: That depends on the requirements given by the GNU Toolchain community. + The requirements from the community are input to the steering committee, + and so the answer depends largely on exactly what was the intended purpose. + +* Q: What can the new infrastructure be used for? + + * A: That depends on the requirements given by the GNU Toolchain community. + The requirements from the community are input to the steering committee, + and so the answer depends largely on exactly what was the intended purpose. + +----------------- + +* :ref:`genindex` + +* :ref:`search` -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
