The Testing Area :: April extensions

Thanks for the feedback - I thought I'd caught all the symlinks with /ramdisk in them, I'll have a look at this again (and the gconv link - edit: the gconv link looks OK to me, what problem did you see?).

It might be better to update bison to the latest version rather than using something circa 2003 - since this is not in the base dsl and only used for compiling, I guess it should be OK - what does anybody think?

I believe I took the version of xf from the packages page - it would be nice if we could confirm exactly which version is in dsl...

Let me look at glib-2.0

Yeah, Bison, Yacc, Pkg-config and Flex are only used at the compile step, so they can be as new as wanted.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the latest version of bison stands in for yacc as well, so I might yet save a few KB

I would guess it would be some experimental version from the 430 branch. I couldn't find versioning on the binaries, so I guess the only option would be to ask John.

It's already there - yacc is a wrapper script to bison. iirc lex -> flex so you might want to look into that as well.

I have a vague memory that I compiled something once that needed lex by symlinking lex -> flex
