Hi all,
gcc-4.2.0 and glibc 2.6 have been in testing for a while now. I haven't received many bugs for this one and we still have some small todos open.
Please test these packages very carefully, as these packages are very important for everyones system.
I added a bug-catcher in flyspray: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7295 Please add new bugs for anything new you find that isn't linked to that one. If possible, link it to this bug-catcher. I hope to see gcc 4.2.0 and glibc 2.6 in current very soon after the bugs on that list are fixed.
I personally haven't tested them at all. Is it safe to use these for building packages for the repos? This may sound like a stupid question but it scares me away from trying them out.
I always thought it's a bad idea to build anything for current/extra/unstable/community with packages from testing installed. :-/ Won't those packages require libgcc 4.2.0 then? AFAIR Jan said about some incompetible exported symbols. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
