After a kind pointer from Guy Maor, the gcc package is noow renumbered to more closely follow the dpkg release policy for a third party maintainer.
I also compiled gdb_4.16 with the Objective-C support patches from NeXT. As well, it appears that the _MIT_POSIX_THREADS included in debian work fine with the Obj-C runtime. So, Debian can now be considred an 'out of the box' objective-c development platform at the level necessary for ongoing GnuStep work. The next task is to debianize the gstep-base project and the rest of the projects associated with GnuStep. Karl Sackett-- the maintainer of libobjects-- has been in touch, so it looks like gstep-base will be made available in short order. The gdb package is available with all of the various debian-specific description, changes, and diffs file. Gcc lacks a lot of the debian specific resources because they didn't build; it is just the debian source tree with the latest gstep-base gcc support patch. ftp://ftp.thoughtport.net/pub/debian/ b.bum -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
