Why is a separate branch needed? We can have a private repository of a few critical packages compiled with Propolice etc, if that works then the option should be put in the default gcc packages and the important packages should be built with it. Either it's good enough to go into main reasonably quickly, or it's not good enough to be used at all. I don't think there's any middle ground. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
