Given the implications concerning gcc-3.x (such as not recommended for compiling 2.4 kernels), where can I find debian packages of gcc-3.0 for potato? I'm aware that there was a significant change of packaging for gcc starting with woody (such as parallel installs of gcc-2.72, 2.95 and 3.0 as main compilers which can be switched simply by specifying the CC variable), but I'd appreciate if there is a debian package which would install gcc-3.0 side by side with the default gcc-2.95 for potato (can't avoid thinking about the more standards compliance as well as smaller object code it produces).
I'm not really into dis-upgrading to woody at my box at home since I've setup so many packages (with 40% as backports and unofficial packages) and that dist-upgrading to testing or unstable is sure to break some dependencies, if not the system (not really so adamant in using woody or sid for my personal use, though I'm using a 2.4 kernel with XFS patches and gcc-2.95.3 from master.debian.org/~doko). Any help where can I find them (or how do I backport them in potato) would be appreciated. Paolo Falcone __________________________________ www.edsamail.com
