Sometimes this complete lack of QA is really pissing me off :(
Stop using ~arch packages, or stop whining.
No, I won't do neither. The GWN and the upgrade doc used to say,
that an upgrade is (basically) riskless.
That's wrong - as it has been confirmed and corrected now. If that
warning would have been there in the gcc-upgrade doc, everything
would have been fine.
~arch works most of the
time, but it is a _testing_ branch. Do you expect the devs to login
to each and every Gentoo user's system to test a new package and
ensure complete functionality before adding it to ~arch?
Bullshit.
I'd expect them to do testing and not give so bold statements
as "The upgrade should be incredibly easy and require no additional
work to install and use. " without making VERY sure, that this
is actually true.
Granted - there's only so much that can be done. And also
granted, that's ~arch. But that statement is just so irritating.
And what's also irritating are so many small errors, like files
with non-matching filesizes/checksums in the digests.
I just upgraded to gcc-4.1 and pruned 3.4.6, and KDE, koffice, OOo,
and mozilla all still load and run fine.
Did you yet re-compile Qt 3 and Qt 4? No?
Then you're experiences just don't count. KDE broke on my
system, when I recompiled Qt. Before the recompile, KDE was fine.
As I've wrote in lengths on the bug report. Seems you've not read
it - why not? Why am I writing reports and *also* post links
here?
Did you try to compile glib? No? Then I guess you've done no testing.
Or what kind of testing have you done?
Since these are all heavy
C++ users, I am sure that for my (pure ~x86) system, there are no
issues.
Congrats. It's not only me who's having problems.
