Hi All Although I'm not a developer for Mandrake packages, I do know something about software and development.
I observe: - There still isn't a snapshot of cooker - I believe there should have been a first beta now - There are a lot of problems with the current compiler (gcc 3.3.1) Wouldn't it be a good idea to freeze/revert to a know good compiler, start pumping out a stable version of the current cooker to put out to a more general public and keep the compiler stable (except for broken situations). It might be nice for one or two people to experiment with a newer compiler, but as I see it now, it seems to be blocking general testing of cooker, which could delay the next release, or make it a buggy release because of haste at the last minute... (Like 9.1?) Please tell me if I'm out of line, but I'd like mandrake to succeed! Happy Hacking! Simon
