[gentoo-dev] recommended way to get gcc-6 for testing packages

[gentoo-dev] recommended way to get gcc-6 for testing packages

[Paweł Hajdan, Jr.]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 286 bytes --]

I was looking at <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588596> .

gcc-6 doesn't seem to be in portage.

Is there recommended way to get it installed?

I'm also wondering what are the plans for adding it to portage. Why not
just add it hard masked or unkeyworded?

It's in the hardened-development overlay.  You can use layman to install the
overlay, then test out gcc-6.2.x.  Already found a bug related to mips myself, heh.

Okay. I'll probably take a look.

Why not add it to portage, unkeyworded or something?

Mike's generally been the guy handling the main toolchain updates, but I'm not
sure if he's just been tied up lately or something.  We're behind on glibc
(2.24 is out), binutils (2.27) and gcc (6.2.0).
