Hi all -
I know someone else mentioned this briefly WRT to Tumbleweed, but I'd like to bring up for discussion the adoption of gcc 4.6 for Factory.
<snipped a lot of good stuff about why a kernel compile with gcc 4.6 is a good thing>
Jeff,
I don't have factory running anywhere, but I thought gcc 4.6 was in factory now, but not as default.
You have to invoke it as gcc46 was my understanding.
Would updating the specfile to use gcc46 instead of gcc be feasible until the default gcc is updated?
Yeah, that'd be pretty easy. The hard part comes in when you want to build KMPs against that kernel since they won't be using the same compiler version unless they're *also* modified to use CC=gcc-4.6
Well, it's coolos call, but I won't mind switching to GCC 4.6 by default for Factory.
