[opensuse-packaging] gcc 4.4 preparations
Hi, gcc 4.4 is nearing it's release date and so we put it up in openSUSE:Factory/staging to see how hard it hits us. The "porting to 4.4" guide is pretty short, but still it affects a good portion of packages. We have currently 44 failing packages in standard repo (gcc 4.3) and > 200 in staging repo (gcc 4.4). There are quite some follow up problems, e.g. with boost and gcj. Still if you want to see if your packages are affected - or want to help others, look here: http://tinyurl.com/ac8se4 We have no concrete plan to put gcc44 as default compiler into factory, but it might still be a good idea to fix compilation with it as you update packages. The porting guide can be found here: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html Most packages failures I looked at were either about missing includes (stdio or stdint) and broken #if statements. Both are pretty trivial to fix, so everyone is welcome to file submit requests against the devel projects. Please note that both debian and fedora already put effort into gcc 4.4 porting, so there might be patches already floating around upstream to fix these issues. Might not hurt to use google ;) Of course as plans to make gcc 4.4 the default emerge, you will get more details.

That gives "No Results". I doubt all problems have vanished in a few days.

Yeah, a problem with the build service. As soon we rebuild, everything is "blocked" - no way to see the build status of former rebuild ;( I guess I need to write a script to export a snapshot of failures into the wiki or something.

Current osc svn provides now a "-l" switch for the rresults command. It shows the former build results (either succeeded, failed or unknown) Api call for this is curl -n http://api.opensuse.org/build/$PROJECT/_result \ -d package=$PACKAGE -d lastbuild bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
