Re: More pre-freeze packages?

[Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu>]

   Will gcc 2.8.0 and libg++ 2.8.0, or even the egcs compiler distribution, 
   be added to the hamm package list before the freeze?  It would be nice to
   dump gcc-2.7.x from hamm since it is fairly old, and since C++ 
   programmers, such as myself, would like to be able to use the features in
   g++ 2.8 and/or egcs.

Probably not.  Both of these compilers have problems with some
existing code, such as in the kernel.  If you want more information on
why we're not upgrading, check the debian-devel archives.

gcc 2.8.1 is available in the experimental distribution, which is in
directory project/experimental under the Debian archive.

   Also, there is a newer version of the Mesa library available (2.6).  Will
   it replace the current Mesa 2.5 package?

Wouldn't know.
