I had a look at that, and we've got (summarised) 413 outstanding bugs 308 fixed/pending So there's still some way to go, but looking promising. I did notice that all those bugs were filed almost exactly a year ago. This won't have picked up issues with current packages, such as the Boost link failures I've encountered. Would it be possible to repeat the archive-wide rebuild with our current sources? Regards, Roger -- .''`.
