Rebase Fedora GDB to 16.1 Fedora 42 Fedora 41 Fedora 40 Do the rebases for all the supported Fedoras, build new builds, test all the new builds, make sure all the builds pass CI Reproducible: Always
Such a rebase still applies to Fedora 42. But it would be a violation of packaging rules for Fedora 41 and moreover Fedora 40: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#stable-releases

GDB's major version number is incremented on a yearly basis regardless of new features or changes to the user experience. While it is true that new features (e.g. architecture support) are being added to GDB on a regular basis, there are very few features being added to GDB which appreciably affect the debugging experience for a Fedora user. On the other hand, each "major" release contains many bug fixes which are not being backported to existing Fedora releases. In particular, over the past two major releases (GDB 14.X and GDB 15.X), we've seen far fewer ABRT related bugs than we have in the past. We have found it beneficial to rebase to the latest upstream release to propogate these bug fixes into Fedora GDB. Therefore, despite the fact that the major version number changes on a yearly basis, we think that we're adhering to the spirit of the policy. We do, however, agree that it might appear that we're not following the policy. Our team is discussing whether to request a formal exception to the policy for GDB.
