All those packages (except gcc-ssa) were mine, repackaged RHUG packages which I've been working on internally. I hadn't wanted them in rawhide because there are still a few big issues with them -- my past experience has been that putting such packages in rawhide results in a flood of 'Warg, package $foo doesn't work on my box, Red Hat sux!!!!!' messages that waste a lot of time. (Subscribe to rhl-beta-list@redhat.com and you'll get the message!) But a low-publicity release on people.redhat.com might be just the ticket. I'll let you know how I get on. > Also, why were the gcj Sun compatibility wrappers axed from severn? > I can't speak for everyone, but I found them quite useful.

There were issues with it that nobody had the time or inclination to resolve, so they were dropped. Cheers, Gary [ gbenson@redhat.com ][ GnuPG 85A8F78B ][ http://inauspicious.org/ ]
