You already complained about that on the forums [1] in a rather similar thread and yet you still haven't filed a bug report about it. I don't have the feeling this is going anywhere. I'd really appreciate if you would at least try to help improve things. [1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3043626.html#3043626 Btw, the update was announced all over the place, including GWN, www.gentoo.org, the forums, etc. You also get a message in the postinstall of gcc 3.4.4 iirc. As for the stage 1 problems you described, this is exactly what i already told you in the same thread. Supporting stage 1 costs extra resources, this thread is a perfect example of it. cheers, Wernfried -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org
