gcc-3.0 transition
Matt Taggart writes: IIRC gcc-3.0 is not a woody release goal. However it would be nice to get as many packages as possible gcc-3.0 clean. Those of us working on the hppa port will certainly be working on this. AFAIK, gcc-3.0 was a release goal. I didn't notice that is has been dropped. Probably ok, because gcc-3.0 has branched, but isn't yet frozen.
gcc-defaults
Matt Taggart writes: Hi debian-gcc, If I understand it correctly the gcc-defaults package allows the different architectures to specify different default versions of the various compiler bits and it gets all the dependencies right. yes, that correct. the intention is to have only _one_ gcc, which cannot be changed as an alternative. This makes it easier to identify the compiler used (in bug reports) Is this working? at least for gcc-2.95 ;-) I'm interested in making it work for hppa as we need to use gcc-3.0. Please do. I can help / upload it this weekend.

He said he will send changes when he gets it working. Thanks, -- Matt TaggartLinux Development Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] HP Linux Systems Operation

Bug#91940: hppa support
Package: gcc-defaults Version: 0.5 Here is the diff to add support for hppa using gcc 3.0... ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE),hppa-linux) V_CPP := 3.0 V_GCC := 3.0 V_GPP := 3.0 V_GOBJC := 3.0 V_G77 := 3.0 V_CHILL := 3.0 V_GCJ := 3.0 V_GPC := 3.0 packages := c++ fortran objc endif Seems to work fine.

See the post to -devel-announce from last month. Basically, there aren't release goals per se (and haven't been since, hmmm, hamm?). If gcc-3.0 is releasable in time (two months + however much longer it takes to get working b-f's) it can go in, if not, it can't. Working on it in experimental in the meantime so you can minimise the catastrophes even if you drop it in at the last minute is probably worthwhile...
