I figure upgrading to GCC 4.1.1 from 3.4.5 wouldn't be such a pain, right? WRONG.
Yes, very much so. See my "Upgrading to gcc 4.1: emerge -e world required?" thread.
These packages quit on me after telling me that the reported filesize by the ebuild wasn't equal to the downloaded filesize.
Were the errors correct? I mean, did the filesizes differ?
I also had several packages quit on me
How?
If these are the type of problems we're going to see with 4.1.1, I would have to vote that it stay masked.
Yep.
"Testing" isn't even the word for this so far. I had to revert back to my 3.4.5 gcc and re-emerge system after having too many errors to warrant continuing.
Hm. But there are people, who ran "emerge -e world" with gcc 4.1.1 and don't have problems. I suppose you'll only have problems, when you mix 3.x and 4.x. Alexander Skwar -- Fascinating, a totally parochial attitude. -- Spock, "Metamorphosis", stardate 3219.8 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
