Hi all,
I've got a gcc-4.7.2 package almost ready to upload, but there's one issue
I'm not sure what's best to do about.
Several of the runtime libs have changed version numbers, i.e.
libgnat4.5->libgnat4.7, libgcj11->libgcj13, libobjc2->libobjc4.
I'd like to release a test: version of the new compiler, but I don't know
what's best to do for the requires: lines in the setup hint files.
If I add the new library versions, those dependencies will also be pulled in
by people installing the curr: version of the compiler, but the new libraries
won't exist in curr: versions.
If I don't, people installing the test: version will have to ensure they
manually select the new runtime libraries, which might be the least worst
option.
Is there any better way to handle this situation?
cheers,
DaveK
I doubt until someone changes setup.
Put all the dependencies on your Announce, who want to try should be
able to install them.
