Dear Fink Developers,

Today I saw the first dependency on gcc49 in fftw3.info.

This is a major pain since (as far as I know) all other package require at most 
gcc48.

When that introduction does not go paired with upgrading ALL packages that now 
require gcc48 to be requiring gcc49 this will remain a back mess for users like 
me, who use a lot of gfortran related packages, like netcdf-fortran5.

In case of fftw3 this was only a packaging update, not a version change, so I 
do not understand why the necessity to change from gcc48 to gcc49?

Granted, for fftw3 it is a BuildDepends only, but still, what’s the rush, 
particularly since gcc49 is still at 4.9.0, and might not be stable yet.

I would suggest to either revert fftw3 back to gcc48 or start a consolidated 
effort to upgrade all packages depending on gcc48 to gcc49.

Regards,
Remko
