No, not an alternative. Sparc v7 users will likely see woody as their last usable Debian release. I want to move the compiler to default to sparcv8 instructions. Don't all bitch at once though :) Woody will be the stable release for atleast 1.5 years. I've thought about doing v9 optimized stuff again (like I did before), but that's way too much overhead in the package system. Not to mention that it causes all kinds of conflicts when upgrading. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
