And GDC too!

I can help sponsor GDC uploads if necessary. I may try to build it myself, but I'm not sure if I have the time (or patience!) to babysit through it (past experiences of building GCC/GDC were not that pleasant, sad to say).

Does Debian unstable/experimental now have GCC 4.8 by default?  (I only ever use its prodigal downstream:-)

The reason I ask is because my successful build strategy used gcc-snapshot, and the instructions on there are quite specific NEVER to use that as a basis for building Debian packages.

Could either of you give me a ssh login on an appropriate Debian box with gcc build dependencies already installed?  Then I could have a go at building GDC and if successful, we could use this as the basis for a new package.

Of course, I can install Debian Experimental in VirtualBox, but if either of you have a box already set up that you'd be happy to give me access to it might speed things up.

Matthias (aka doko) already does that.  I need to resend him the orig.tar.gz - a blocker is the documentation has invariants in the license.  This needs removing...

I've already done this... see previous email for outstanding things to do. :-)

You mean already sent a package?  That's great news, thank you! :-)
