Quoting Stephan Kulow
Hi,
I would like to know if someone had an interest in switching 12.2 to gcc 4.7 as default. Because it's quite some work and we'd need to start *NOW* - but it requires some people to actually work on it and take control. E.g. in mass building factory with it and fixing packages *before* we switch.
Volunteers?
Stephan, I started looking into smoe of the packages yesterday evening and gave some fixing love. I think so far the biggest problem I have identified is less the GCC 4.7 'issue' than a 'workflow' issue around it. Main problems: - As long as I do the work alone (hope not), it's easy: I knw what I checked and touched, but once multiple people start, it will be difficult to keep track - A lot of failures are also in oS:F and thus attributed to gcc 4.7; it would be great to just see a 'difference pattern' between what failed in Staging:Gcc47 but worked in oS:F For a bunch of packages we'll surely end up writing patches. It would be great to get a commitment from the 'package maintainers' to push the patches upstream, so that the 'team' working on resolving gcc 4.7 build faiures can focus on just that, instead of chasing after a dozen of bugzilla counts. Dominique For reference, the packages touched yesterday: - rpm - udev - flac - libproxy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
