"C++ ABI bump" referred to the fact that gcc-3.4 (4.0) includes a new C++ ABI on all architectures, and we'll therefore have to change the names of all C++ library packages when we switch to using it (just as we switched to c102 when adopting gcc-3.3 for sarge). We didn't mean to suggest that you needed to tell us about ABI changes for individual libraries written in C++. :) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
