Package: gcc-4.4-base Version: 4.4.4-14 Severity: minor Tags: patch Many URL links listed in README.C++ are broken.
Let's clean this up and make this documentation robust to such URL moves using attached patch. Broken links are removed. I intentionally did not list non-parasoft mirror sites since some of them tend to lag 4-5 years behind. Google link is my thought on backup link.
