I've put it on one system to try it officially (I've been playing |
| 15 |
with various release candidates for one particular application which |
| 16 |
really wants the newer gc code). It builds and installs on sparc, |
| 17 |
and runs simple tests. I'll start rebuilding packages over the next |
| 18 |
few days on this system and let you know how it goes. |

The "You might have to re emerge vim" comment needs to be made very clear; |
| 23 |
there doesn't seem to be any "maybe" about it (if you use vim+ruby), |
| 24 |
because the rebuild of vim is required because of the libruby version |
| 25 |
change. |
