Hi,
we are currently trying to get openSUSE:Factory:Rings:0-Bootstrap and openSUSE:Factory:Rings:1-MinimalX clean to build with GCC 5 in the openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49 project.
Does it also go through openQA? There was recently report that grub2 built with gcc 4.9 fails in interesting way. --><-- After some (grub_printf) debugging, I found out that when 'loading' the builtin modules at startup, some modules names are corrupted. --><--
Once that works reasonably I will push GCC 5 to Factory without enabling it as a default - that will be done when it works fully (help appreciated at that point).
There is a porting-to document that explains some issues you may run into (also consider the 4.9 variant as we didn't transition to that): https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/porting_to.html https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/porting_to.html
You may also find the analysis of Fedora interesting which explains why some packages now fail to build: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-February/207549.html
GCC 5 packages can be installed from devel:gcc where they are regularly updated. Those sources also feed openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49.
Richard.
