about the gcc-3.0 package..

2001-10-31 Thread Rune Elvemo
I downloaded the gcc-3.0 i386 package (to do a little check), it could
seem like it would add a file called gcc-3.0 in /usr/bin. (using debian
woody here) Anyone who could confirm whether this is true?

If so I guess I could safely install gcc-3.0, and use the normal
gcc-2.95.4 for everyday use, and just change to gcc-3.0 when a program
neeeds it...

Yes, you are correct.

It does.

You can.  /usr/bin/gcc will point at gcc-2.95 by default.

The general answer to this would be to 'apt-cache show gcc-3.0' and
check the Conflicts: line.  If it doesn't conflict with gcc-2.95, then
it'll coexist just fine.  If it doesn't, then it's a bug.

There's documentation in /usr/share/doc/gcc-3.0 about this as well.
