Correct, and FreeBSD 5.0 will ship with 5.0+ release. The import and use of GCC 2.96(7) in FreeBSD-CURRENT is to support development of the IA-64, x86-64, and PPC ports. Since FreeBSD-CURRENT is not a release and is a tool to use in getting to 5.0, we didn't mind importing a non-released version of GCC. Note that FreeBSD's warning of don't expect stability in -CURRENT will also be very true of the this compiler. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
