Hi,
topics:
1. fontconfig
2. gcc 4.1
3. "Edge Distribution" renaming
Ehe fontconfig package in current Edge sync is hopeless broken, even the
"fc-cache -f" workaround does not help anymore. After installing the
fontconfig package from 10.0 the system works nicely here.
We put the old fontconfig package into Edge until the upstream becomes usable
again. It should get out today with the next sync.
We will also go for gcc 4.1 branch update the next days. It does work quite
good, all ICE (internal compiler errors) which happend during build are fixed
and I do work already on such a system. However, the new compiler has of
cause again new stricter checks for C and C++ code, so not every code which
did compile before will get accepted.
Another issue, we will need to rename the "Edge" distribution. There were
confusions with "Edge Server" solutions. I consider it better to rename it
now than to do it later. However, we do not have a new name for it. Does
anyone have any suggestion ?
bye
