Note that gcc-4.6 and gcc-4.7 will be removed from Debian before the next release becomes stable, so targetting gcc-4.7-source is probably not going to allow transition to testing. It is OK to upload to unstable as a stop-gap measure, though. This will allow the package to go through the NEW queue; this requires manual review & approval by a Debian release manager, so normally takes time. So, please do not wait for the package to hit testing before you upload an update that uses gcc-4.8-source; this is the official target for Jessie. I will also help Nicolas in sponsoring the package, if my time permits. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
