[gentoo-dev] gcc-6.x status inquiry

[gentoo-dev] gcc-6.x status inquiry

[William Hubbs]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 407 bytes --]

Hey all,

I am asking about this because I have been asked to look into
packaging software that has a specific requirement for >=gcc-6 in order
to build [1].

I see that gcc-6.3 doesn't have keywords, so I'm
wondering when it will get them? Does anyone have any idea? I'm not
talking about stable keywords, just ~. ;-)

Thanks much,

William

Given that gcc 7.1 was just released and gcc 6 isn't even keyworded yet
I'm wondering if it'd be an idea to right away strive for gcc 7 and
skip keywording+stabilizing gcc 6.x in gentoo.

As I said few times, we should dump gcc-5 sooner than later and any
software that does not build with gcc-6 should be p.masked and dropped
from the tree if there isn't a nice fix for it.

So, I'm not seeing anything wrong in ~ gcc-6.

Just a heads-up, that p.mask list would happen to include firefox and 
thunderbird right now.

 So if we don't p.mask those, is them breaking with gcc-6 still enough
 to keep gcc-6 out of ~? If not, I definitely +1 what lu_zero said,
 let's add ~keywords to gcc-6.

Just as a datapoint, my main dev system is ~80% stable and has been updating 
with gcc-6 since beginning of february; no problems. [*] [**]

Without looking at the blockers I'd be fine with ~arch gcc-6.3 asap (so we can 
eventually get gcc-7 in masked).

[*] Well I had to fix a sci-* package I'm mantaining myself, but I'm likely the 
only user of it, so...

[**] That include "no problems when building firefox".

No, i'm good with keywording gcc-6 still.  I'm just not Ok with 
firefox and tbird and others being p.masked for removal simply because 
they don't build.

Also its worth noting that the gcc-6.3 build failure is apparently not 
absolute, there are people that have built mozilla stuff fine with 6.3

Same here. The gcc-6 incompatibilities were resolved quite a while
ago. Let's keyword gcc-6 and try to get gcc-7 into the tree on time.

Best,

And pdftk. It needs gcj, and has no usable alternatives.

What should I keep in my system to continue to use (and maybe recompile) 
pdftk?

Portage pulls in gcc-5.4 when i run 'emerge -p pdftk'.

After the discussion on this thread (no one seemed to object), I went
ahead just now and added ~ keywords to sys-devel/gcc-6.3.0.

Thanks,

William

Thanks a lot!

Did you update any keywording bug (if one is open at all)?

Getting gcc-6 keyworded (was: Re: [gentoo-dev] gcc-6.x status inquiry)

[Andreas K. Huettel]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 719 bytes --]

OK since 

a) nobody from toolchain responds here, 
b) a lot of people are in favour of doing this, but 
c) noone wants to do it himself, and 
d) I dont have the time to do all the research I deem necessary to do it 
myself, 

let's harness the power of the developer community. 

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/GCC-6_keywording

Go here^, look at one blocker bug, decide why it shouldn't block keywording 
gcc-6, and comment in the list, ending your comment with ~~~~. In the end 
hopefully all the entries should look like
