Hi, you might wonder what came out of the ABI transition. We are currently stalling and awaiting (that is, I am waiting and Jeff is busily caring about GCC and the autobuilder ;) the following events:
* the inclusion of our dpkg and libc0.3 packages into the Debian archive (last time I checked they were still hold up in incoming for manual processing). * the GCC 3.1 release which will be our standard compiler. The last point will include a small minor shake up in the C++ packages (indeed, another incompatible ABI change within the ABI change, so to speak), but as few packages depend on libstdc++ (only a hundred or so), this is not so important. If you (or we :) are not careful, you might have to download and reinstall apt manually, that's about the worst that can happen to you. After that, I will make a new tar file and clean up the alpha.gnu.org space. So, the steps II and III in my original plan are swapped. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
