(ok) Is this maybe "will already have ... when we release"? Because otherwise, this is obvious nonsense. 3.2 was released *yesterday*. I am pretty certain 99% of all upstreams haven't even realized yet that 3.2 exists. *No* distribution currently ships with 3.2.[1] Our current packages may or may not be incompatible, but not for this reason. [1] From the gcc list, IIRC several distributions were planning on shipping with 3.2 end of August or September. That was one of the arguments for creating 3.2. MfG Kai
