[arch-dev-public] isl update and gcc-4.6 status
by Allan McRae 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Hi, I just put an update for isl in [testing]. It had an soname bump, so cloog is rebuilt as is gcc-4.6. I'm guessing the multilib toolchain will need a rebuild too... While I was at it, I took a new cvs snapshot for gcc-4.6 as there are a few good bug fixes there. I will probably call for signoffs for the toolchain in a couple of days if no issues come to light in that time. Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ncurses-5.9-1
by Allan McRae 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Upstream updated: Release Notes This release is designed to be upward compatible from ncurses 5.0 through 5.8; very few applications will require recompilation, depending on the platform. These are the highlights from the change-log since ncurses 5.8 release. This is a bug-fix release, correcting a small number of urgent problems in the ncurses library from the 5.8 release. It also improves the Ada95 binding: * fixes a longstanding portability problem with its use of the [3]set_field_type function. Because that function uses variable-length argument lists, its interface with gnat does not work with certain platforms. * improves configurability and portability, particularly when built separately from the main ncurses tree. The 5.8 release introduced scripts which can be used to construct separate tarballs for the Ada95 and ncurses examples. Those were a proof of concept. For the 5.9 release, those scripts are augmented with rpm- and dpkg-scripts used in test builds against a variety of gnat- and system ncurses versions as old as gnat 3.15 and ncurses 5.4 (see snapshots and systems tested [4]here. * additional improvements were made for portability of the ncurses examples, adding rpm- and dpkg-scripts for test-builds. See [5]this page for snapshots and other information. Signoff both, Allan
