 If I understood things correctly, the pure64 archive is the one which is 
 supposed to become the official debian unstable distribution. The gcc34 
 version, which is actually compiled with the latest compiler to maximise 
 optimisation, is a little bit more on the experimental side. If you favour 
 maximum stability, use pure64, if you accept a little bit more instability 
 for (supposedly) best performance, go with gcc34. By the way, at least 
 some of this instability is probably due to the fact that not all of the 
 archive has been recompiled with gcc4, and there is some binary library 
 incompatibility bitween the two. This will go away in time.

Since the beginning of December 2004 almost every new package version 
for the gcc-3.4 archive has been compiled with gcc4. Up to now,
more than 2000 source packages (i.e. roughly 25% of all source packages)
in the gcc-3.4 archive have been built using gcc4.

My plan is to rebuild the complete archive with gcc4 and upload the 
resulting packages to alioth during the next month. When this upload 
has been completed, the name of the current 'gcc-3.4' archive will be 
changed to 'gcc4'.

I apologize for any inconveniece caused by this transition, but I think
it is worth the efforts. Gcc4 has already detected a large number 
of amd64 related errors in many packages because of its stricter 
warnings concerning dubious pointer-to-integer conversions.
Finding and fixing those errors will likely also help the pure64 archive.

Every report of a bug or a problem in the gcc-3.4 archive will
be greatly appreciated and I will of course try to provide fixes
as soon as possible.

Andreas Jochens

Synaptic gcc3.4

2005-01-13 Thread Andree Zeulner
Hello everybody,

I updated from pure64 to gcc3.4 with dist-upgrade, due some little errors it 
was a smooth run, but now I can't start synaptic anymore it crashes with a 
segmentation fault. Does someone, who is using the same repository, have the 
same error? and how to solve it.

Thank you

Andree

I just built a new version of synaptic for the gcc-3.4 archive which
should fix this. I will upload it to the gcc-3.4 archive on alioth 
soon. However, at the moment the upload is not possible
because alioth's root partition is full.

Re: Inkscape Bug!

2005-01-13 Thread Ludovic watteaux

 Hm where did you get it from? Is it just the unstable package with the
 patch from Andreas Jochens?

I don't know exactly !

I've get it from the unstable amd64 project (gcc-3.4) :

http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4 sid main

on my source.list file
When i do : apt-cache show inkscape

 MHO: Yes.
 
 I would say that the package owner is best to decide whether
 the problem is caused by the new compiler and can be put
 on hold, or whether there is a more general problem affecting
 the official platforms, too.

I have to disagree if it's build using an experimental compiler.
Please do not submit bugs to the debian bts about those.

 It would have been nice if you had announced this more
 early. Democracy in software engineering is a myth, but
 on the other side, you are not the only one using the
 gcc-3.4 branch.

This had been discussed and announced on the list some time ago.
See for example:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/12/msg00174.html

 The Blackdown 1.4.2 AMD64 JRE already has a working browser plugin.
 
 There are debian packages available from some of their mirrors, but do
 watch out because many carry only the old packages :(
 The actual link in /etc/alternatives is wrong, but a little manual
 intervention fixes that.

Sun is providing their JDK in the 64bit too. You can download it from
java.sun.com.
1.5.0_01 is available last time I checked (it was yesterday).
