Outlook into the future: * GCC5 made great progress the last week. Basically all issues on packages that are shipped on the DVD have been resolved. We can expect the switch to GCC 5 as the new default compiler for Tumbleweed to happen very soon. Packagers: please keep your eyes open for new failures! Packages that are NOT in the rings (so, packages not on the DVD) have NOT been rebuilt during the staging process.
A word of advice (because I am pretty sure some (many?) packages that are not tested in staging might fail: Most failures are caused by: - Packages using -Werror, new warnings show up and therefore fail: Solution: Do not build packages with -Werror, find either a configure switch to disable it or patch away Look what the new warnings are and if there is something dangerous, patch it. - Packages that depend on the GNU inline semantics, usually fail with "undefined references" to "some function internal to the package", most of the time it is not practical to patch them, build with -fgnu89-inline in CFLAGS instead.
