It seems that Philipp has been working hard on it and corrected it :-)
I wish I'd know that much about gcc, but that stuff is *way* beyond my abilities. No, the work has been done by others. Much of the work was done by our gcc specialists and some fixes are backports from GCC mainline.
I only took the sources, compiled RPMs for 8.2-i386, copied them to our staging server and wrote the announcement mails.
A bit of "soap", as we say in my country -- ah, well, at least you made it available for us :-)
Unfortunately, the 3.3.1-0 download was 42 megabytes, ie, 3 hours donwload at 4 Kb/s, and it got sometimes as low as 2.x. It was more than 4 hours, divided on three nights.
Which FTP server did you use? If it was ftp.suse.com, use one of the mirrors like ftp.gwdg.de which are usually *much* faster.
I know, I as using ftp.gwdg.de precisely - it usually works well for me, in Spain, but lately it goes slow, and sometimes it stops for a full minute. Not achieving a download rate above 4Kbs for a modem is bad, more so in my case. Maybe it is optimized to work better for people with a better connection, cable, dsl, whatever.
I don't think there will be differential rpms available, the type that we have for YOU.
No, patch RPMs aren't and won't be available :(
I know, we commented that on another thread. Pity. In any case, I downloaded it all -- except sources -- installed, and recompiled the kernel (kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-100). It worked beautifully. Also, NVidia install went as a charm, for once (old version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run). Do you think I should report this to feedback? Perhaps they already know, but I could respond to the automatic feedback response I got - don't expect me to use the web form for this thing :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
