## Agenda

- Changing the repository's structure for easier fork updates
- Project Reports
- Monthly report
- What are we working on
- Questions

## Changing the repo structure

- Have something similar to what the GCC Go frontend does
- https://github.com/golang/gofrontend
- This could help when we do updates of the GitHub gccrs repo to build on top of a more recent GCC upstream
- This would not change the upstreaming process
- New idea: regularly `git rebase` GCC/Rust master branch on top of GCC upstream trunk
- Brings in the usual "rebasing issues", but maybe it's not so bad in practice?
- Thomas to prepare new branch corresponding to current GCC/Rust master branch; coordinate with Arthur to try rebasing a few of the current open, long-lived PRs.
