I have to wonder what's going to happen here myself - I was told that gnome
1.4 (due in march) wouldn't be done in time to make it into 8.0. So I am
guessing that at the very least cooker will freeze before then. If that's the
case then gnome can't be rebuilt and tested in time for release then surely
an entire rebuild of the distro with a new compiler (if 3.0 is even ready) is
out of the question.
So one would assume that it is Mandrakes full intent to release 8.0 with gcc
2.96 snapshot?
Is this the fact?
What is Mandrakes stance on this, if so? How is it justified?
If Mandrake has other plans than using a compiler snapshot, what are they?
