Description of problem: This package is required to run Unreal Tournament 2004. It's available for Mandriva, and installing version from 2010 works fine.
What is the exact package ?
I've used this one: http://pkgs.org/mandriva-2010/mandriva-contrib-release-i586/libstdc++5-3.3.6-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm.html
It's needed to play darwinia too, an independant game I like a lot.

We need gcc3.3 for build this lib, and it's not possible in our new distribution.
Source RPM: (none) => gcc3.3
Why we can't build gcc 3.3 for Mageia?

Setting version to cauldron to improve the chance that someone will package it. When it is in cauldron, it'll be in the next stable release.

I was able to install mandriva/official/2010.1/i586/media/contrib/release/libstdc++5-3.3.6-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm required to run Firefox 2.0.0.20, which due to the "fix" for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258875 is the latest Firefox version that (I'm aware of) can perform certain web operations I need to do routinely and cannot do with any newer Gecko version.

( same pb as title of bug report, same solution ) UT2004 requires "libstdc++.so.5" seems solved with libstdc++5-3.3.6-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm

openSUSE 12.1 had that lib working, which was broken until mere days ago in 12.2, proving it should be possible to have a "current" version in Mageia. Maybe if the 2009mdv rpm expires off the mirrors a "current" openSUSE rpm could be substituted if Mageia cannot provide one? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761036

This old libstc++.so.5 is also needed for the Check Point VPN client (SNX). IIRC, we argued ages ago (maybe back at Mandriva?) where to put this package since we couldn't rebuild it from sources, and since it was not really non-free. But it seems that openSUSE can rebuild it from gcc 3.3 sources: https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=gcc33&project=openSUSE%3AFactory Could we introduce this gcc33 package in core/release?

Sure (with name gcc3.3 like on mdv). If we want to avoid having actual gcc3.3, we can just package the libstdc++ and rm the other binaries.
Yep, libstdc++ alone should be enough.
Fixed in gcc3.3-3.3.6-7.mga3, which provides a libstdc++5 sub-package. It is basically the Mandriva package with some openSUSE patches and a few more fixes. I have tested with SNX that it works fine.
