Well I didn't finish rolling the lot over the weekend owing to reasons I'll explain on the talk list, but I'm saying yes anyway. First thing I'll do will be reroll a 3.4.4-2 with the fix for PR-whateveritis about the C++ strings-vs-dlls problem. Once that's done and seems ok, I'll look at making an experimental package from one of the gcc 4 series. (Anyone got any preferences?) cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
