GCC 4.4 would remain the primary compiler. Risk is minimal as GCC 4.1 is not used anywhere, including pkgsrc. GCC 4.1 source and makefiles would remain in place well into DragonFly 3.3 development (Snip) This makes general sense to me, as it doesn't change the working compiler. This would work well for moving to gcc 4.7 in our 3.4 release. The pkgsrc-2012q3 release is due at month end and I have some major events happening at work. My thought was that we branch next week, with actual release two weeks after that. Does that give enough time to get it in? I don't know if that will be enough for everyone; it's just my inital plan.
Assuming all the changes necessary to bring in GCC 4.7.2 are complete by Sunday, I'd recommend waiting 8 days (the following Monday) to branch and maintaining the 14 days to release. I think 8 days would be enough time to flush out any world build problems, not that I plan on introducing any.
It also gives a little more time to flush out any anomalies with the revamped usched_dfly.
