Hi Jack, I don't get it. Why create a new -compiler package with the old compiler names as symlinks and require everyone to modify their builddepends? Can you not do it all in one .info file, install all the symlinks in your installscript, and then splitoff the -shlibs and the "real" compilers etc., leaving only the old symlinks in the gcc45 package. This would keep compatibility with the current packaging while allowing all the real compilers to be simultaneously installed. i.e. gcc45 package contains all the links you have just put in gcc45-compiler gcc45-shlibs contains all the shlibs gcc45-toolchain (or some better name) has everything else. Sorry, I thought that was what you were planning to do, or I would have mentioned it yesterday.
