No, I won't do neither. The GWN and the upgrade doc used to say, |
| 11 |
that an upgrade is (basically) riskless. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
That's wrong - as it has been confirmed and corrected now. If that |
| 14 |
warning would have been there in the gcc-upgrade doc, everything |
| 15 |
would have been fine. |

Bullshit. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I'd expect them to do testing and not give so bold statements |
| 25 |
as "The upgrade should be incredibly easy and require no additional |
| 26 |
work to install and use. " without making VERY sure, that this |
| 27 |
is actually true. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Granted - there's only so much that can be done. And also |
| 30 |
granted, that's ~arch. But that statement is just so irritating. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And what's also irritating are so many small errors, like files |
| 33 |
with non-matching filesizes/checksums in the digests. |

Did you yet re-compile Qt 3 and Qt 4? No? |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Then you're experiences just don't count. KDE broke on my |
| 41 |
system, when I recompiled Qt. Before the recompile, KDE was fine. |
| 42 |
As I've wrote in lengths on the bug report. Seems you've not read |
| 43 |
it - why not? Why am I writing reports and *also* post links |
| 44 |
here? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Did you try to compile glib? No? Then I guess you've done no testing. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Or what kind of testing have you done? |

Congrats. It's not only me who's having problems. |
