| + | === More about kernel/ | ||
| + | It seems likely that we will be able to switch to SL5 amd64 soon; to maintain compatibility with older versions of BOSS, we'll install 32-bit compatibility libraries. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === More about GCC 4.3.2 === | ||
| + | Using urt, net has agreed to support a custom-compiled install of GCC 4.3.2. I've written a build script for it, and have spent a bit of time refining it in order to make this possible. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In theory, this is Derrick-safe material; if there are issues, though, I'm not sure Derrick has the background to effectively obtain help. Then again, in such a situation, I'm not sure net would have enough free time to tinker with it. I think we just have to hope that there aren't any drastic changes. | ||
