My interpretation of the few cryptic remarks I saw is the following (I may be wrong, of course): Apple's forthcoming release will be based on the "nervous weasel" branch of their cvs tree, not on the trunk. In the trunk, they are trying to keep up with GNU, so there will eventually be an Apple gcc-3.1 based on FSF's released gcc-3.1. The branch, however, was forked sometime in March and is (or calls itself) "based on gcc version 3.1 20020105 (experimental)". That's why I suspect the "experimental" will still be there for quite a while. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
