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 am willing to work on the fallout of packages in 'my' domain (so mainly GNOME and some dependent libs). Frankly, I have no idea what to expect from it, so it could be disasterous. One first step should clearly be to get a staging repo up and seeing the fallouts with gcc 4.7 in order to be able to make any kind of estimates. So far we could as well be lucky and 'just pass' it (ok, I know that's not true: libproxy 0.4.7 at least will fail, but this has been fixed upstream already). One bonus for us: Fedora started that work, so there is potentially a big bunch of upstreams fixed already or we can 'borrow' patches. How much pre-work had been done on that? Do we have gcc 4.7 packages available? Do we already have an estimated number of fallouts? A list of typical 'things to fix'? Either way: Count me in as a resource for fixing stuff, as time permits (gnome packages are getting too few and too easy :P ) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
