Hi,
I was just being told that we won't get any KDE3 packages until the whole Debian project is moved to gcc 3.2. Is this correct? If so, why? And is there a timetable? Is it a problem to compile the packages with gcc 2.95?
The matter of the fact is that almost all Debian/KDE users are already
using ftp.kde.org to get the KDE packages. I would surely prefer to have
these packages as part of our archive instead of redirecting everyone away
from debian.org.
The plan as i understand it is to supply gcc 3.2 built packages once kde 3.1 is released, and never supply gcc 2.95 ones in debian
AFAIK, both gcc-3.2 and binutils have to be checked on every architecture and
the transition will start once all architectures are ready for the transition.
Cheers,
