Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've committed a new profile for testing out gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4 and |
| 4 |
linux-headers-2.6.17 on SPARC. This test is strictly for testing out |
| 5 |
these core parts of the toolchain by developers or users who are well |
| 6 |
aware of what they are doing and is not recommended for anyone for |
| 7 |
regular use and/or who cares about their system. You break it, you buy |
| 8 |
it :) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
For the more daring, the profile will be available at your next sync |
| 11 |
as /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc32/dev/gcc-4.1.1 |
| 12 |
or /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/dev/gcc-4.1.1 for |
| 13 |
your symlinking pleasure. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
There are at least two known bugs with this right now (sys-apps/kbd and |
| 16 |
x11-base/xorg-server) which will hopefully be fixed in the tree soon. |
| 17 |
Temporary workarounds to this can be found at |
| 18 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~weeve/overlay/gcc-4.1.1/ |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If you happen to encounter a bug that you believe is related to these |
| 21 |
toolchain elements, please file a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org (bugs |
| 22 |
with patches are greatly appreciated). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The profile may still need a bit of tweaking yet so don't be surprised |
| 25 |
if things change out from under you without notice. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Again, if you care about your system at all and/or don't want to |
| 28 |
inspire the wrath of The Ori, do not use this profile. |
| 29 |

Cheers, |
