Re: g++ 3.0 patch for apt (partial)



first, apologies to the list for not sending that diff gzipped.... it
was kinda big..

your call, but i'd prefer not to touch that for now.

there probably was a reason, but i don't remember right now.

yeah, vectors of structs and all that.

should be easy to do.

my understanding was that "using foo:bar" is ok but obviously "using
namespace std" would be bad in a .h

i'll investigate this some more.

um, yeah, it did weird things with the paths. this is just a hack for
now.

seems to work.

not yet. g++-3 is on auric tho, but hppa is probably tracking gcc cvs a
bit more closely than the official debs.

i have some more cleanups to get apt-ftparchive to work, will send those
along at some point too. perhaps we can do a g++3 branch or something?
i'd like to get these into cvs asap so we can build official hppa apt debs.

incidentally, unless the g++ maintainer changes the naming convention my
libc/libstdc++ versioning stuff won't work correctly with the current g++3
libstdc++ file naming convention.
