://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102876 I'm hoping we can get something thrown together relatively quickly so I can mark it stable. Nothing is going to be required immediately from the user though, since their compiler won't be changed to 3.4 until they do so. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc

64615. Yea, I updated my statement on the bug to reflect this. C++ stuff should be the only thing affected, so this _should_ be enough. Its also already something that's been in the ebuild for a while now. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc-porting toolchain x86) email

[gentoo-dev] Moving GCC-3.4 to stable on x86

2005-11-28 Thread Mark Loeser
This is basically a heads-up email to everyone to say that we are probably going to be moving gcc-3.4.4-r1 to stable on x86 very soon. If any of the archs that have already done the move from having 3.3 stable to 3.4 could give us a heads up on what to expect, that would be great. Only thing I

, libstdc++-v3 should be pulled in after that. Only issue I really see is people that have libraries compiled with 3.3 and 3.4 and don't know why stuff is broken. I don't know how large of a problem that will be though. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc-porting toolchain x86) email

[gentoo-dev] Last rites for dev-libs/luabind

2005-11-25 Thread Mark Loeser
If no one steps up to maintain it, luabind will be removed from the tree in 2 weeks. It has not had an upstream release since 2003 and is broken with newer versions of boost, =1.32. Nothing in the tree deps on it, so there shouldn't be any problems with its removal. Thanks, Mark

[gentoo-dev] Pending removal of app-arch/gzip-x86

2005-09-19 Thread Mark Loeser
I'm masking app-arch/gzip-x86 as we speak. It seems to cause problems for people[1] and is based off of gzip-1.3.3. As such, it is vulnerable to a couple[2] exploits[3]. Upstream appears dead (last update was 2003-05-20) and no one is currently maintaining it for us. If you don't want to see it

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] C++ herd proposal

2005-09-16 Thread Mark Loeser
Since we currently have language herds for other languages such as Ada, Perl, and Java, I don't think C++ should be any different. There are currently many packages in the tree that are C++ libraries or utilities that are no-herd and are actively maintained, and there are probably some that have
