As there is no pressure for openSUSE I do absolutely not want to go that way there. Can you educate customers instead that prerelease != experimental? gcc-4.4 (SUSE Linux) 4.4.0 20080905 (experimental) [trunk revision 140030] vs. gcc-4.3 (SUSE Linux) 4.3.3 20080915 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 140371] that said, as we tried to teach virtualbox not to parse gcc -dumpversion (which prints 4.3), but gcc --version (which printed 4.3.x which is what they expected) it would be strange to now also change that output to 4.3. Which is why the original solution for SLE probably wasn't too a great idea either. Ok, to fulfill this (IMHO silly) request I will change gcc-4.3 (SUSE Linux) 4.3.3 20080915 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 140371] to gcc-4.3 (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 140371] which should be good enough, as the former was also with additional patches anyway.
