Something is seriously wrong, if a single bug that affects a single arch can stop everyone else from forward. We need a way to get packages that are broken on some platform into the distrubution while the developers of the arch sort out the problem. Not the way it is happening currently, that everyone has to wait the platform to fix itself before updated packages get into distribution. Maybe we should start the gcc-3.2 migration now, and just not autocompile c++ apps on sparc until gcc is fixed? -- Riku Voipio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 | +358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo | | Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. |
