I'll be testing core2 on the boxes I have and making a new minor release of smgl-archspecs if I don't run into any issues.tags: <a href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/sourcemage">Source Mage GNU/Linux</a> <a href="/accounts/sandalle">sandalle</a> says: We've also merged X.org 7.6 (except for libxcb, which breaks a lot with their .la archive ABI change) into test for <a href='http://www.ohloh.net/projects/sourcemage'>sourcemage</a>.tags: <a href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/sourcemage">Source Mage GNU/Linux</a> <a href="/accounts/sandalle">sandalle</a> says: Updated GCC (except for Ada) to 4.4.0 in the devel-gcc branch of <a href='http://www.ohloh.net/projects/sourcemage'>sourcemage</a>.

Perhaps I&apos;ll do updates (weekly at most, unless this works out really well ;)). Current projects: * Merge latest master branch into devel-xorg-modular to ease testing * Testing upgrading from xorg in test to xorg-modular from devel-xorg-modular branch Probably a few other projects, but those are on the top of the list. :)tags: <a href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/sourcemage">Source Mage GNU/Linux</a>
