[Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-03-13 00:59:08 UTC]

Did this get sent upstream already?

[Comment 3 Bret Towe 2006-03-13 12:24:22 UTC]

no upstream already had fixes this is in part taken from svn
svn and .9.14 deverge a fair amount from what little i saw
when creating this patch

[Comment 4 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-03-13 12:42:09 UTC]

Ok, we'll let upstream handle this.

[Comment 5 Bret Towe 2006-03-13 13:16:13 UTC]

thats all fine and dandy if they intend to release a new version soon
but what about ppl using gcc 4.1 and such now?

[Comment 6 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-03-13 13:24:15 UTC]

4.1's in package.mask, right?

[Comment 7 Bret Towe 2006-03-13 13:47:43 UTC]

yes it is i dont see why that matters
as its still in portage masked or not

[Comment 8 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-03-13 13:52:45 UTC]

Eh, it's hard masked, so you're not supposed to be using it. If you must use hard masked gcc versions, grab one of the fluxbox-svn ebuilds that're floating around. Otherwise, it's a fairly safe bet that there'll be a new fluxbox out long before 4.1+ gets unmasked.

[Comment 9 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2006-03-13 14:42:08 UTC]

Please apply the patch.  4.1 will be coming out of p.mask in the next week or so.  Just because it is hard masked is also not a good reason to not apply a patch, especially when someone gives it to you.

[Comment 10 Ciaran McCreesh 2006-03-13 14:48:17 UTC]

Better to persuade upstream to stick out a new release...

0.9.15 is in the tree and should work. If it doesn't, I'll cry.
