[odb-announcements] ODB compiler .deb and .rpm packages available

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

ODB compiler packages for Debian/Ubuntu and RedHat(Fedora, RHEL,
CentOS) are now available. 

These are essentially the binary packages of the ODB compiler re-
packaged as .deb and .rpm to ease installation and maintenance.
Just like the binary packages, they also include a private copy
of the GCC binaries that are used internally by the ODB compiler.

Note that you still need to build the ODB runtime libraries from
source. As a result, these new packages are not meant to be a
"final" solution to ODB packaging for Debian/Ubuntu and RedHat,
which would also include .deb/.rpm packages for all the runtimes
and use the stock GCC instead of distributing a private copy.
Rather, these packages can be used while the proper packages are
not yet available. They can also be used for legacy distributions
for which proper packaging is not planned.

You can download the new packages from the ODB download page:
