Hi,
>Haha, that's a good one. You haven't been around here long enough, no? well, I am, but I was giving a fact, not saying I would sponsor such hack, just mentioning that $somebody else is already doing that on debian. (if you look to my -mentors sponsoring activities you can see I don't even like shipping a static library, so I really care about security). Look e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650601#354 personally I would like to see the transition start, but with the libstdc++5 ongoing one I don't think -release will ever give an ack for it (modulo somebody working on it) >No, it isn't. Could you please stop giving me hints which assume I'm >an idiot? I have been doing packaging for a while now. I was trying to give my help, not to make you feel an idiot. sorry if I didn't make my intentions clear. Of course the package is now in a no-go state :( cheers, G.
