I propose adding several gnu packages (namely gcc, binutils and gdb) with versions following those supplied by fedora, specifically for epel6, but possibly for epel7 if requested.Perhaps you could explain exactly what you want to propose here again? Just epel6? or 7 as well? Do you have co-maintainers in case you get busy, etc? This could hold a pattern such as /opt/gnu/[gcc|binutils|gdb]/<version>/ to allow several version to co-exist. I don't have any co-maintainers, but I mainly get busy in my day job, which happens to be the reason I maintain those packages. I propose importing fc24 packages as and when they become available, maintaining the exact same packages - so gcc6.1 srpm would create the entire suite* of rpms currently available on fc24. My current scheme is relying on environment modules to "switch" between versions - each installation of course creates and installs the modules file which also maintains dependencies - binutils >= 2.24 must be loaded prior to loading gcc6 etc. (*) I have no experience building and packaging gcc-gnat, so not quite the entire suite, but I could probably learn to build that too. I think we are all open to ideas how to do things better, but it's really not clear what is best or even exactly what is proposed. ;) kevin |
