Well, what was the reasoning for having a separate gcc-core package again? By default, both source and binary would be under the same name, and a knob in setup would allow the user to install either one. Without consulting the source (WCTS?) I'd guess it might be because there is no gcc-core binary package. If there is no other reason for the split, it might be best to remove gcc's external-source, and rename gcc-core-*-src to gcc-src. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ "True nobility lies not in being superior to another man, but in being superior to one's previous self."
