[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gcc 4.3.0 and related toolchain updates
by Jan de Groot 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Gcc 4.3.0 has been in testing for a while together with its related toolchain updates (glibc, kernel-headers, binutils). At this moment we've built OpenOffice.org for both architectures and GNOME 2.22 for x86_64 with this compiler without noticable problems. Produced binaries are roughly 5-10% faster than with the old compiler. Tobias and I would like to have this one in core for the new release, as the new kernel and all modules have been built with it also.

[arch-dev-public] Libtool issues
by Tobias Kieslich 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Doing my exiv2 update I saw that this time really some packages must be rebuilt. However, digikam can't be rebuilt because it depends on a libgphoto2 that was rebuilt with libtool-1.x based version. libgphoto2 can't be rebuild with libtool2 because it just bails. I have not found any patch/hint how to fix that. Can anyone come up with an idea? I have no real libtool experience. -T
