Dear Fink developers, Several of you have noticed the recent changes which I've made to a number of packages. Most of these changes ensure that the package in question compiles using the gcc 3.3 compiler. (The changes involve adding gcc3.3 to BuildDepends, and then either modifying the CompileScript or adding SetCC: gcc-3.3 and SetCXX: g++-3.3 .)
These changes should have no effect on compiling the package under 10.3 -- they have been added to prepare for 10.4, which has a more recent compiler. If your package has had these changes made to it, and you update the package, please also include the changes in the new version. After 10.4 is released, you'll have the chance to test for yourself and see if these changes are truly necessary for the updated version of your package. The plan at the moment is to do this work within the 10.3 tree as long as possible, to make things easier to maintain. Shortly prior to the release of 10.4, we'll construct a 10.4 tree and at that time it will no longer be necessary to preserve these gcc 3.3 additions to the 10.3 tree. -- Dave P.S. I also made some changes the other day making sure that we use the modern syntax "head -n 2" and "tail -n 2" rather than "head -2" and "tail -2". ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
