I've been wondering when would be the best time to flip the Fedora packages across to the new versions as currently they are still on the older mspgcc port.
If we've got to that point then I may be able to assist in making that happen, but there were some concerns that those using the old packages may not be ready to move to the new ones right away - so it would be nice to hear some thoughts on that. Should we do it now, or wait a little while? The gcc package obviously depends on the binutils package, so another issue was not wanting to upgrade the binutils package until a new gcc was ready since its very likely that the old gcc wouldn't work with the new binutils, Steve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
