Released code that builds with -Werror is inherently rather fragile. It does certainly catch errors, but it can also cause FTBFS problems that wouldn't have been a problem without -Werror (particularly during compiler version transitions). I'm not sure it's a good idea; it may add more problems than it catches in the long run. It's *great* for development, of course. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
