hmm, perhaps I'll hack some little scripts which create a jail/container for each compiler version and triggers emerge within them. > We also offer 10 versions of glibc, 8 versions of uclibc, and 7 versions > of klibc.

Well, if there're header bugs, shouldn't they get fixed before these libs are stabelized ? ;-O > And finally we offer 5 unmasked versions of binutils (newer ones even > have a brand new linker - gold) and 5 versions of binutils-apple.

I've reworked my rule, now: "package build systems MUST NOT enable "-Wall -Werror" (unless explicitly asked), but developers SHOULD use them for their test builds" cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
