I haven't investigated that. It's just that they are listed in: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg07117.html as class 5: So, there are really five classes of packages: 1) already recompiled for 1.5.0 2) non-binary 3) binary, but not for new use (e.g. could be recompiled, but why?) 4) empty compatibility packages (newlib-man, texmf?) 5) need to be recompiled 1.5.0 So I figured that a package that needs to be recompiled, would export new symbols. But maybe class 5 should be split: 5a: need to be recompiled, but does not export new 64 bit types (no need to wait for this) 5b: need to be recompiled, exports 64 bit types. packages with requires: should wait for this to be recompiled I've been very busy off late, and only learned about 1.5 a few days ago.
