Hi everybody,
As you all know, coolo suggested to have a look at GCC 4.7 as the default compiler for openSUSE 12.2 (which surprisingly I have already seen as a 'fact to be' on some news pages... always nice to see how things are interpreted).
For this to be successful, of course, we need to ensure that our distribution builds fine with GCC 4.7. A bunch of us joined forced and had a look at how much is currently creaking and took some efforts in fixing a bunch of those.
Some small stats for fixes being sent out of my branch (home:dimstar:gcc47) which we all together used as source.
Number of SRs in this state 12 new 7 review (For most here I wonder if the projects are aware of this configuration) 76 accepted 0 declined 11 revoked 5 superseded
I would say quite impressive. Of course, most of the changes were rather trivial (missing include a very common one). Yet, all those packages needed to be looked at and fixed.
Currently, there are 37 packages failing in home:dimstar:gcc47, which still need some work. Not all of them are forcibly related to gcc 4.7 failures (due to the logic of 'what' I branched).
Some seem to be rather nasty ones (libzypp for example) and others are failing as a consequence of an error in another package (PackageKit for example fails due to libzypp's headers)
I've asked the zypp team already to look themselves at it.
Thus, together with the status overview, I would like to put out a call for help as well! Don't be shy, just chime in and fix one or two more of those packages.
