=== Mirror of git repositories on Alioth ===

If you host a (debian related) public Git repository somewhere else than on Alioth, you have the possibility to mirror it on Alioth itself. This brings you the gitweb interface and might simplify access to the repository to some people since Alioth also offers access through the git server.

The mirror is currently updated every 30 minutes. If you want us to add a new repository to the mirror, please contact us at admin@alioth.debian.org with the repository URL and its public description. The first user of this service is the DSA team with 3 repositories ([http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-exim.git;a=summary dsa-exim], [http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-getclamsigs.git;a=summary dsa-getclamsis], [http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-misc.git;a=summary dsa-misc]).

News for Debian developers

This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. When we have collected 5 items, we'll send the content of this wiki page to debian-devel-announce. Add your news below and follow the template "Example of news". See ["/Help"] for more information on how to write entries.

-- Your Name

I built the Debian archive with GCC 4.4 to report build errors and filed about 220 bugs (the majority with patches). There are roughly 30 build failures left that I haven't analyzed yet. There are also about 35 packages that fail because the boost headers don't work with GCC 4.4. I'll try to build them when the boost headers get fixed.

I used the ftbfs-gcc-4.4 user tag (with debian-gcc@lists.debian.org as the user) to track these bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-gcc-4.4;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org If you run into GCC 4.4 related build failures that I missed, please use the same user tag.

The majority of GCC 4.4 build errors are trivial. The large majority of failures is because of missing #include statements, as described at http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc/gcc-4.4-include

There are also about 20 build errors because of improved preprocessor checks, as described at http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc/gcc-4.4-preprocessor-errors
