Christian already took care of that.
Well - we'll release our 12.04 based rollout this year (I know we're late ;-) and it'll be at least supported for the next 2-3 years. This change means we won't be able to do any LO updates after 4.3, not even thinking of building a LO version for our old 10.04 based release, which we'll support at least for another year. Current master still builds on 12.04 (except for collada), so it seems all used C++11 features are also supported by gcc 4.6. There is a unsupported gcc-4.7 in universe (4.7.0-0ubuntu4) with a newer version (4.7.2-0ubuntu3) in precise-updates, Like Michael Stahl, I would be happy to see an update to CentOS 6 (gcc 4.4) to get KDE4 support in the TDF packages, but an update to gcc 4.7 would probably be a lot of trouble for us. Just my 2 cent Jan-Marek _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
