That's good news, we were starting to be worried about you. I was just getting KDE 4.7 out the door while I was waiting for David to finish the deps. Here is what I was planning to release: http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/gcc4 Besides the version update to 4.5.3, there are several changes over the distro 4.5.0, including: * Linked against shared (instead of static) libintl. * Fix shared libgnat installation. * Fix Java NIO (patch may not be required with recent snapshots). * Pass --large-address-aware when, and --tsaware only when, linking EXEs. * libtool fixup script actually changes .la files. * Don't install GCC .la files so that the libtool fixup script will be less needed in the future. * Revise gcc4-java alternatives usage. We'll all be glad -- myself included -- for you to resume gcc development; I have only taken a cursory glance at 4.6.1 (and not even a glance at gccgo), and I have no idea where trunk is holding. If you've got time to package stable branches on top of that, fine, otherwise I could still handle the packaging side while you focus on development. Either way, I think we really need a 4.5.3-2 with at least that patchset out as soon as David can finish updating the deps. Let me know how you'd like to proceed. Yaakov
