Now AlienArena2009 can finally be finished!

updated my system to new libs, restarted and all is well so far ..tried running alienarena2009 from their website and it ran without issues(it complained about old glibc) ...

who said pclinuxos is based on old libraries? people will complain now that our libraries are too new ...people will always find stuff to complain about..

Packagers please remove the gcc section from your synaptic sections list as it will be removed from the repos now.

I have a question.  Should existing packages be repackaged with the new gcc?  For example I packaged qbrew, should I repackage with the new gcc?

2 questions --
Did you read through this whole topic or skip to the end?
Did you recently package qbrew?

If the answer to the first question is 'no,' then you should read it. If the answer to the second question is 'no,' then reading this thread will answer your question.
