I have seen several bug reports from the gcc maintainer saying | This package builds with -Werror, and GCC 4.6 triggers new warnings | which will make the package fail to build. Currently a Debian patch | just passes | -Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable and | -Wno-error=unused-but-set-parameter | to avoid build failures, but this patch will be reverted with the | GCC 4.6.1 release, and the severity of the report will be raised. Which I_think is a good compromise, and a case where I really think the gcc maintainer is doing good a communicating. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
