To: gentoo-core@gentoo.org Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 17:11:22 -0600 Hi All, .... I just wanted to implore people to *not* focus on getting gcc 3.0 to work, at least not until after Gentoo Linux 1.0. gcc3 is not going to be in 1.0, so any fixes in this area do not help us get closer to the 1.0 release. I'd also ask that people refrain from unnecessarily upgrading core packages, as these kinds of things close to release tend to cause problems. I don't mind the occasional gcc3 fix being added here and there, but I would ask that people don't explicitly try to to a Gentoo 1.0/gcc3 bootstrap, for example. I would much prefer it if you were to test Gentoo 1.0 as-is and focus on fixing and refining issues in it. Again, please put gcc3 aside for now and focus exclusively on fixing outstanding bugs. ---------------- The second thing is, that some developers *have* been working on getting Gentoo to compile with gcc3, which prompted the above mail. They'll likely go on working on it after the 1.0 release. The third thing is that I believe drobbins intends us to wait a bit longer and go straight to gcc 3.1. I'm not involved in these decisions, this is hearsay so to speak. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team (KDE) Matan, Israel
