The project to get packages to build with GCC 5 which we should try
to transition to has progressed but is not yet finished.
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49
currently shows 13 package build fails and 59 packages not built
due to failed requirements.
Of the packages that fail building some of them have patches
from me either in SR state or just in the devel projects which
have not been pushed to Factory.
Currently unfixed packages include (at least)
coreutils
mariadb
pinentry
post-build-checks
python3-base
reiserfs
shim
yast2-core
libzypp
memtest86+
xen
both libzypp and yast2-core are responsible for nearly all 59 packages
in unresolved state (there is xen that also causes some unresolvables)
I especially ask maintainers of packages that have got a fix
from me for their package but didn't yet push that fix to Factory
to do that.
And I am asking the yast/zypp people to look at their packages.
As openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49 only builds the set of packages
to build the Minimal+X media the whole list of packages failing
with GCC 5 will be larger - you are encouraged to add a
repository building against openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49 to
your devel project if it covers sth that can be built against
Minimal+X (KDE & GNOME stack?)
Thanks,
Richard.
