- Ref.tfs.com automatically chroots guest users into a totally
- self contained environment.
-
- As part of moving 386bsd into gcc2.x, this environment
- has been switched to be running (mostly) gcc2.3.3 compiled
- utilities. The default compiler is now gcc2.3.3 and
- most programs guests run are 2.3.3 compiled. The 'real'
- environment is still the original binaries, so the system is still
- bootable with old binaries.
-
- The kernel tree has not yet been patched for 2.3.3 however that is
- being organised now. complete conversion to gcc2.3.3 will
- probably occur this weekend.
-
- what this means to you:
-
- if you login (as yourself or as guest) you will be running 2.3.3 compiled
- binaries (except for those supplied from elsewhere)
- if you compile anything, you will be compiling it under gcc2.3.3.
-
- If you have supplied a package to ref, you may like to
- come and see if it can be compiled correctly
- under gcc2.3.3 (and try install and run it)
- I can't possibly test everyone's packages..
-
- Many thanks to ljo (Lars Olsen) for getting the standard
- 386bsd distribution compiling under 2.3.3!
