Samuel, thanks for doing this. However, I'm trying to get gcc-4.5 removed from unstable soonish, so I would like to see this for gcc-4.6 (and 4.7 as found in experimental). Could you do this? Nikita, could you sponsor the package? Matthias On 25.01.2012 19:05, Samuel Bronson wrote: Dear GC

dpkg-genchanges gets confused with version numbers
