@guntbert: No, you shouldn't convert it to a question, as this is a bug,
not a question. I have only told you about the link to help you
temporarily with a workaround to find the compilers in software center,
but this still remains a bug, as according to the Software center
specification[1] the Development tools category should show non-
application (technical) packages by default, and it does not do it right
now, so this needs to be fixed.
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Low
** Summary changed:
- compilers should be presented in the category "development tools"
+ Technical items should appear in "development tools"
** Description changed:
The software presented seems to be restricted to GUI only - which is
- wrong
+ wrong, as based on the software center specification at
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Determining_software_item_information
+ the Developer tools category should show non-application packages
+ (technical items) by default.
