[beports] Re: Ports not in Gentoo Portage

Do you think it would be possible to use GCC4 as a default? As I
understand, there's only a difference between GCC2 and GCC4 when dealing 
with C++ applications. Or am I missing something here?
I don't claim to be an expert on GCC ABIs, but me too I understood that this applies to C++ only.
But practically speaking, there is no Haiku-native gcc4 yet, whether for a gcc2 bsaed image or a gcc4 based image. So as a native compiler we only have gcc2 to choose from, unless someone knowledgeable about GCC and its interactions with Haiku headers/environment steps up and helps get it done. 




On another matter, on the OpenBeOS mailing list a proposal on a
package description format for future binary Haiku Optional Packages
has been posted. Maybe you want to take a look and see if parts can be 
merged/aligned with your BePorts format.


What is the subject of this thread? Is that on the dev or the user ML?
openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - I can forward the message to you when I'm home, its in the evergrowing distributions thread. 


I'm not sure what you mean by BePorts format.


I meant your BepFile format, i.e. KEYWORD = "VALUE".
It's not about installer packages, just about the package description. Whether it's binary or for automated patching or something else shouldn't really matter, but Ingo is pretty much pushing this as a means of getting copyright information of the binary Optional Packages displayed in AboutSystem.

Andreas
