Saw the announcment about the imminent release of Suse 9.3 using the 2.6.11 kernel. Can you tell me which version of gcc will be packaged with this release ? I am looking for gcc 3.4.3 ( I know I can download and build it, I am just curious about what will be packaged :) What is the official release date for this ?

Heise reports "mid of April". I suspect that the GCC will be some prerelease, as it always was with SuSE in the past (pre-4.0.0).

Wrong ;-) We only added once a prerelease and this was GCC 3.2 - GCC missed the deadline... We'll have the GCC 3.3.5 from the hammer-branch - this one has all of the x86-64 patches in it that you need. Btw. current GCC 4.0 versions are on ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/...

I've some other things on my wishlist:

Too late to do anything for 9.3 - but I'll tell folks for the next release.

* MythTV

Do you have an URL?

* mplayer (ok, that will be a crippled version, so never mind ;-)

The mplayer folks asked us to either ship the full version or none:-(.

* Gforth with ffcall-support (http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-ffcall-README.html), that's mainly an issue sind I'm one of the Gforth developper, and I hate to tell people that when they use SuSE, they have to compile it from the sources. * beamer LaTeX style

Is that in current teTeX? Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

http://www.mythtv.org/. It's quite useful now, though it's still under heavy development. Unlike VDR, it works well with budget DVB cards.

Hm, and I thought the mplayer was under GPL ;-). I'm quite happy with the way it works on xine/kaffeine: You just download a few "illegal" replacement libraries yourself and then you can decrypt DVDs, too. Why isn't it possible to do the same thing with mplayer?

Yes, since teTeX 3.0. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

Will this release include the PatchCD upgrades ? How about installing with > 2 GB of RAM ?

This is an new distro with a new set of bugs ;-). It contains all the Patch from the PatchCD where those are not obsoleted and should fix the install problem some noticed, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Are the gnome 2.10 rpm's available somewhere now? I've been hanging out for 2.10 rpm's for amd64 for a while... It would be nice to make these available through an apt repository or YOU update for all the 9.2 folks in strange parts of the World (i.e NZ) whom will have to get a Quazi legal version of 9.3 dvd because it takes months to get here, and by that time it's out of date.
