New Swarm 2.0.1 RPMs [release 3] for Intel/i386 available on SFI ftp site

[Alex Lancaster]

Folks,

New RPMs for Swarm 2.0.1 [release 3] available at:

 ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/redhat/RPMS/i386

New features:

- built against the special _patched_ version of gcc 2.95.1 which
  fixes some bugs, and means that the linker warning messages folks
  were getting when compiling apps will no longer appear (_Note_: that
  users *can* continue to stay with the stock egcs/egcs-objc provides
  by Red Hat 6.x¹).

**for Java users only**:

- for folks using swarm-kaffe, it now requires the new kaffe release
  rpm (1.0.5) recently made available (please consult the README.i386
  for the download location of the kaffe-1.0.5 rpm).  This kaffe
  release supports JDK 1.2 features directly.

Please consult the README.i386 for more installation details, before
commencing installation:

 ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/redhat/RPMS/i386/README.i386

¹ Strictly speaking, if your Objective C application uses the
  Objective C feature called `forwarding' directly (i.e. in the app)
  you will need the latest gcc 2.95.1, but this this is likely to
  affect less than 0.1% of users.
