GCC 5.0 So far, GCC 5 has been added to the Tumbleweed repository as additional compiler. Work to see if this could become the default compiler for the distribution is still ongoing in its separate staging area (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc49 )

Yast team still working on fixing yast2-core for gcc5. It is more tricky for our side, because we currently see two solutions. First one is simplier, but can affect performance, so we need to do performance testing if we can use it. The second one is more effective and actually can speed up a bit yast ( also needs measurement how much ), but it breaks API and ABI, so it is against plan to have same base packages code in SLE-12 and opensuse to have easier maintenance and probably result in ifdefs that keep backward compatibility, which is not nice in long term. So it will need some time from our side. If there is volunteer to do performance testing with new yast2-core, it will help speed up things. Josef
