I've noticed that as well, I had to recently change GCCSDK to point at some

old debian lists to be able to build subversion.

 

I think we should strive to update to the new packages and retire the old

ones. Maybe have an archive area in GCCSDK for the old versions that are

no longer updated.

 

I think we should also move things that will no longer build there. But only

after checking there is no way to get them to build again.

 

For myself, I keep trying to bring packages up to date and rebuild them so

they will work on the Raspberry Pi 3. I tend to look at things that are

mentioned on other sites to see what to look at. The problem is I have

very little time and so progress is slow.
