Hi all,
as it has become custom to send out regular updates (be it only to keep people aware of the topic), here another round for the "GCC 4.7 as default in Factory" - Update:
Not much has happened in the last week. A critical component failing to build with Gcc 4.7 is currently libzypp, which, understandably, blocks the switch (well, I think it could always be decided to switch to 4.7, but keep zypp build with 4.6?)
Anyway, let's not paint it too dark: libzypp folks are helpful and looked into the matter. The first result was a regression in gcc which had been identified for libzypp.
There are currently 22 packages failing in my branch (home:dimstar:gcc47): libzypp, which causes at least PackageKit to fail as a result.
For libzypp and friends: It's not clear whether we have a bug in libzypp or a bug in GCC, might be that the old compiler accepts invalid code... We can always BuildRequire gcc46 and build using CXX="g++-46" etc, so this is no show stopper.
