for woody+1, is it an option to skip 3.1 altogether and go directly to 3.2? from what i understand gcc-3.2 is supposed to be officially released in the fall... (i.e. likely before the next release) i am concerned that between gcc versions, there are often changes in the C++ (and maybe others) ABI, and moving all of our packages to the new version is likely going to be a painful process. If the g++-3.2 ABI is already frozen (?) and we move directly to it then we may save ourselves some trouble with doing the repackaging multiple times. of course there is also the concern that we want to remain at least somewhat binary compatible with other distributions... IMHO, for hppa I think a pure option (a) is not feasible for woody+1. The long branch problem by itself is something that I feel needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Also I'm eager to have working exceptions support for c++ :-) Oh, by the way, when we move woody to gcc-3.[12] as the default, will we still have gcc-3.0 packages available? randolph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
