Re: RPMS worth trying on Redhat 7.3

[Paul Johnson]

Hm. I just got one warning that, for some totally mysterious reason, 
(which has been bugzilla'd), the RedHat team forgot (or omitted without 
comment) to put the gcc3 packages into the 7.3 distribution. If you 
install 7.3 as an "upgrade" on top of RH7.2, it will be ok. But if you 
do a fresh 7.3 install,

These Swarm RPMs won't install. The RPM system will bother you a lot 
about it.  You can get
copies of the RPMS for gcc3 I built under Rh7.2,which I am still using 
under 7.3, if you want.

I don't think you need all those files in there. I think you need gcc3, 
gcc3-objc, and libgcc, and if you are using swarm-gcj you need the 
gcc-java and libgcj stuff there.
