Ok.. it can be a problem with arches, where gcc-30 doesn't work or doesn't work correctly. I think, on a porting-party, we have a look to this too, and, when debian-developers and perhaps other volunteers, with experience on debian, will porting packages to gcc-30, they might be able tio fx some problems in gcc as well. And when we don't have enough time, to end our work, we have to make a second party. :) I'm sure that there will be more than 10 developers on one party. :) But first of all, we have to create a list to see, which packages have to port, aren't we? Before that, we can't do a party, because, we don't know what to .. :) Greetings Jan -- One time, you all will be emulated by linux! ---- Jan- Hendrik Palic Url:"http://www.billgotchy.de"; E-Mail: "palic@billgotchy.de"
