It would be really nice if we could ship the binaries. It takes a really long time to download, build, then install in the current scheme. Installation from the already built packages is at least an order or two of magnitude faster.
There is one/two sticky points: Unpacking sprosslnk (from .../sprosslnk_12-1_solaris-i386.deb) ... dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/c89', which is also in package gcc dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/c99', which is also in package gcc dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/c++filt', which is also in package binutils Setting up sprosslnk (12-1) ... I'm not sure in how to deal with this directly. Alternatives popped into mind but the files are not currently configured as alternatives in gcc/binutils. Is it appropriate to ask upstream to make this types of modification? I'm unsure of the likely success I would have in doing such... -Tim Martin Man wrote: > Tim, > > that's great, let's make sure this hits the distro once we are > stabilized again...
