Also, what's the story with the gcc-ssa that was in rawhide (I assume in conjunction with the rhug packages)? I assume these packages are still being worked on internally, so any chance that they could be posted on people.redhat.com? I mean, there's really nothing to loose by doing this, it would be useful in that bugs would be exposed faster... I know some of the redhat gcc people monitor this list, so I'd like to say I think it would be cool if you guys made snapshot rpms of mainline and ssa for those of us who love living on the bleeding edge and are willing to assist in testing. Also, why were the gcj Sun compatibility wrappers axed from severn? I can't speak for everyone, but I found them quite useful. They also seemed to be a very low-maintenance package. Finally, are there any plans to transition to libtool-1.5/autoconf-2.5X/automake-1.7? Cheers, Nicholas
