Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll try that.Shouldn't we introduce an empty gcc binary archive for just this situation?
This is one case where IMO genini is better than upset: genini-generated setup.ini's don't list source-only packages in setup's package selector, while still being available through the "Src" option of any of its subpackages. Could upset be changed to match, which would avoid this problem for *all* source-only packages?
