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!
