Subject: gcc-snapshot should stay in unstable

Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2005 17:55:49 +0200

Package: gcc-snapshot
Severity: serious

To the best of my understanding, gcc-snapshot is not intended to be ever
released with a stable Debian release. This bug is intended to serve as
a marker bug to make sure gcc-snapshot won't enter testing.

Thanks,
--Jeroen

Subject: gcc-snapshot for testing

Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 22:38:56 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I needed to test the building of one of my packages with gcc4.3.
However it turns out that gcc-snapshot from unstable contains the critical
bug, which makes impossible using it. At the same time the previous
version of the gcc-snapshot deb-package has been already deleted from
unstable.

As a result I spent two days on building of the previous version of
gcc-snapshot (I've got rather slow hardware) in order to make a patch
for FTBFS-bug instead of 15 minutes. :)

May be it would be better to enable the passing of gcc-snapshot into
testing but not to included it in stable releases?
It will allow to have a working instrument in such situations.
