Will gcc 2.8.0 and libg++ 2.8.0, or even the egcs compiler distribution, be added to the hamm package list before the freeze? It would be nice to dump gcc-2.7.x from hamm since it is fairly old, and since C++ programmers, such as myself, would like to be able to use the features in g++ 2.8 and/or egcs.
Probably not. Both of these compilers have problems with some existing code, such as in the kernel. If you want more information on why we're not upgrading, check the debian-devel archives. gcc 2.8.1 is available in the experimental distribution, which is in directory project/experimental under the Debian archive. Also, there is a newer version of the Mesa library available (2.6). Will it replace the current Mesa 2.5 package? Wouldn't know. -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
