Hi all,

Signoffs are needed for the toolchain gcc-4.4.0 rebuild.  This
involves the following packages

gcc{,-libs}-4.4.0-1
glibc-2.9-7
bintuils-2.9-7
kernel-headers-2.6.29.1-1

and two new deps for gcc:

ppl-0.10.2-2
cloog-ppl-0.15.3-1


I was going to wait until glibc-2.10 arrived at the end of the week
to give people time to find fixes for gcc-4.4 issues but there are
issues with C++ programs compiled with gcc-4.4 running against (or to
be more precise, not running with) the gcc-4.3 libs.  So not moving
the toolchain would probably block KDE from moving from [testing].
Also, Fedora has done their rebuild using gcc-4.4 for F11 so patches
should be available for any problems encountered.

Urgh.

Please until I've built all OpenOffice packages for the new release.
They would require massive patching that is not included so far in
go-oo and the vanilla one. It would take me dozens of hours to start
build and wait for breakers one by one :S

  

Sure, give me a ping when you are done.

So please wait a few more days. I hope to build and upload final 3.1.0
packages within the next 2 or 3 days.

Oh, and shouldn't we rebuild kernel and all modules? Afair we did so
with gcc4.3.
  

We should probably wait until glibc-2.10 is released (probably on 
Friday) and use that toolchain rebuild.
