You're welcome. [given the huge amount of packages, bugs, and maintainers
Release Teams deals with, it is worth to *at least try* to proactively provide
you accurate and relevant information concerning the emerging transition]

Great. Thanks.

Ok, the ccbuild FTBFS issue with GCC.4.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agreed, and looking at #667132 bug log, I can see that this bug is also dealt
with upstream and the maintainer (CC'ed) claimed ETA for the fix 2012-05-19.
Jari, are you going to patch the cbuild package currently found in sid or are
you goind to upload a new and fixed upstream version?

Granted. We will get back to you in case of communication interruptions :)
I should have also mentioned it in the first place (my bad), but we also have
new upstream versions for the rest of the packages (all under our control, co-
maitainers Frank and Tony are CC'ed), so we would like to upload them as well,
in hope to see them in wheezy, after the new bobcat hits sid, instead of
simply binNMUing their versions in sid. These new package versions were also
successfully tested against the new bobcat library package in a clean current
sid chroot, resp. GCC (Debian 4.7.0-8) 4.7.0.
Their upstream changelogs, as compared to the versions currently found in sid,
read:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bisonc++ (4.01.00)
* Repaired a long-existing bug due to which some S/R conflicts are solved by
a reduce, where a shift should have been used. See
README.states-and-conflicts for details.
* Removed line-numbers from final warning/error messages
* This version requires Bobcat >= 3.00.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
flexc++ (0.98.00)
* Implemented the --case-insensitive option (and directive), generating a
scanner ignoring letter casing.
* Several cosmetic changes were implemented
flexc++ (0.97.30)
* This version depends on Bobcat >= 3.00.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
oxref (0.90.10)
* Depends on Bobcat 3.00.02
* Removed superfluous header (undoing the needless 0.90.04 modification).
oxref (0.90.04)
* Added missing header
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
stealth (2.03.00)
* Spurious [Fatal] message when starting stealth are prevented
* This version expects Bobcat >= 3.00.00
stealth (2.02.02)
* Recompilation and minor modifications to prepare for g++ 4.7
* YEARS updated
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
xd (3.22.04)
* New upstream release, cosmetic changes (removed 3.22.03 headers again)
xd (3.22.03)
* Added missing headers
I hope it won't be too much of a stress for autobuilders to handle all of
these sourceful uploads, once the new bobcat gets built everywhere.
