I knew it was frozen but wondered if an exception was asked for. e.g. The Haskell maintainers are waiting for GHC 6.4.1 before they'll compile the haskell apps (which includes Darcs :'( ). Btw, how well does Hoary run on your AMD64 bit machine? I was hanging off installing the 64bit version because I heard it had problems. > > cpp-3.4 gcc-3.4 libc6-dev libgl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-dev >=20 > AFAIK Breezy uses g++-4.0, there are C++ ABI changes or > something .. anyhow I would not trust any code compiled > using anything less that gcc/g++ 4.0.

That said, Ubuntu is in a lot better shape than Debian Sid was a few weeks ago (not suprising since Ubuntu have been at it since April). G++ is now more standards compliant (this caused me some grief with L4 Pistachio, I'd bet some software has similar issues) and has resolved some C++ linking issues, so it's a good thing all round.
