This is what is puzzling me, if kde 3 can be compiled and works well with GCC2.95 why haven't the debs for kde compiled with that compiler been put into sid. Why is it necessary to wait for a GCC3.x compiler that works - why not re-release the debs with a slightly later version number when that time comes? I've been reading this list for a while, but if there was an explanation somewhere I must have missed it, sorry. I know I can get the stuff from elsewhere, but to keep these weird lines in /etc/apt/sources.list seems a little "unofficial". -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
