Re: Ceph support for GCC 12 (in Debian Unstable)

Hi,

FYI, I was able to build Ceph 16.2.10 after adding the #include <memory> in buffer.h as you backported.

as in general, only the changes with backport tracker tickets are tracked and backported systematically.

Those without tracker tickets can also backported if changes are justified. I guess the change to fix the FTBFS of an LTS branch on an unstable distro might be controversial.

Unstable is just a name. You may also say "testing", or "Debian next stable" because that's the same thing we're talking about at the end.

As some of us might argue, why not package Quincy?

Because Debian Stable (ie: Bullseye, aka Debian 11) has 14.2.x, and we want to have an upgrade path, we can only package 16.2.x in the next stable (ie: Bookworm, aka Debian 12).

I very much would like the situation to change. This can only happen if:
- Ceph upstream makes its release cycle longer, so Debian can catch-up (we freeze every 2 years, so even if we don't have a set-in-advance release date, we're always on a 2 years cadence...). - Ceph upstream makes it possible to skip one more version (ie: skip 2, not only 1).

It's already *very* nice that Ceph is on a 1 year release cycle and allow skipping one release each time, as this is aligned with Debian, but I have no solution right now to go directly to Quincy... :/

Your thoughts on this would be very welcome.

But personally, if some of us volunteer to do this. And the fix is low-risk. I don’t see why we should not accept the changes to fix FTBFS on older but active LTS branches.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
