Hi, The FTP team has decided that gcc-mingw32 (ITP #529183) must not be built by build-depending on gcc-4.4-source and dynamically using the tarball provided by that package, because current archive infrastructure cannot garantee that corresponding source for gcc-mingw32 binaries will always be available (which is a GPL requirement).
As a "least bad" alternative, gcc-mingw32 will include a copy of gcc 4.4 sources in its own .orig.tar.gz. Mark Hymers asked me to notify both -release and -security, so that you're aware gcc code will be duplicated in this way. I expect this problem can be resolved in a better way in the future when DAK has better support for handling this kind of situation. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
