Announcing Fedora Core 5 Test 2 Posted Jan 17, 2006 0:37 UTC (Tue) by bjlucier (subscriber, #5281) [Link] Re:* Based on gcc4.1 for performance and securityGCC 4.1 hasn't been released yet; I hope it's finished by the time FC5 is released, because shipping a development compiler can be confusing.
gcc 4.1 Posted Jan 17, 2006 0:51 UTC (Tue) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] The original target date for shipping 4.1 was Jan. 18, but it's slipped, waiting for several show-stopper bugs to be fixed. It seems almost certain, though, that gcc 4.1 will be out before FC5 ships.

Announcing Fedora Core 5 Test 2 Posted Jan 17, 2006 13:36 UTC (Tue) by pizza (subscriber, #46) [Link] Those actually following the Fedora Legacy project know they are very much aware of this. Subscribe to the mailing list, it helps.
Announcing Fedora Core 5 Test 2 Posted Jan 17, 2006 15:04 UTC (Tue) by mattdm (subscriber, #18) [Link] The web site does need updated, though.
Fedora Core 3 swims with the fishes Posted Jan 18, 2006 3:33 UTC (Wed) by Junior_Samples (guest, #26737) [Link] Fedora Legacy Project == Godfather's Kiss of Death. Frankly, the Fedora Legacy Project isn't anything which one would want to depend on. Urgent security fix? Check back in six months . . .
