Does Ubuntu ever push new versions of GCC into the package repository between releases?
- by Lex Fridman
Current version of GCC in Ubuntu 11.04 is 4.5.2. For certain C++0x features, I need GCC version 4.6, but would like to avoid compiling from source. Is there hope that Ubuntu will update GCC in the package repository before the next release in October (11.10).
This question asks a similar thing except for an earlier version of Ubuntu and GCC.
A second part of the question, if the answer is "no" to the first, then can I hope to see it appear in Ubuntu's unstable repository?
