Description David Woodhouse 2001-02-09 09:30:33 UTC

passion /home/dwmw2 $ rpm -q gcc
gcc-2.96-69
passion /home/dwmw2 $ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)

Couldn't we change the version string to make it clear which compiler is
installed? This isn't the 20000731 version.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2001-02-14 13:26:05 UTC

gcc-2.96-75 should print:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-75)
I don't want to change the base version, since other packages (like libgcj-devel)
put files in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/).
