As far as binary packages, if the book contains that package, then I wouldn't cater to the binary form. But for plugins and such I have no reference because I don't use anything that needs the compat libs nor do I know of anything that requires it. One thing to keep in mind is if the gcc section is done, there isn't any extra maintenance at this point to keep it. > So, unless someone comes up with some good reason why we need to > keep GCC-3.3.x in the book, it will vanish in a couple of days. I do not know if this affects anyone else, but I have to compile mplayer with 3.3.x else it often crashes. This was on 2 different machines running a cvs version of the via driver, the nv driver, and verious nvidia drivers all on xorg 6.8.2. Also, using mplayer 1.0pre6a and 1.0pre7. The output of mplayer suggested a possible compiler incompatibility. This problem doesn't have enough priority for me to investigate so I just use 3.3.5. Either way, I don't need the book for that so I'm not suggesting it stay to satisfy my situation. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
