= System Wide Change: GCC8 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GCC8 Change owner(s): * Jakub Jelínek <jakub AT redhat DOT com> Switch GCC in Fedora 28 to 8.x.y, rebuild all packages with it, or optionally rebuild just some packages with it and rebuild all packages only in Fedora 29. == Detailed Description == GCC 8 is currently in stage3, will move to stage4 on January 14th, in prerelease state with only regression bugfixes and documentation fixes allowed. The release will happen probably in the middle of April. We are working on scratch gcc rpms and will perform a test mass rebuild. == Scope == All packages should be rebuilt with the new gcc once it hits f28, or, if there is not enough time for that, just all packages built after the new gcc hits the buildroots. * Proposal owners: Build gcc in f28, rebuild packages that have direct dependencies on exact gcc version (libtool, llvm, gcc-python-plugin, odb). * Other developers: First few days/weeks just voluntary rebuilds using the new system gcc, if things fail, look at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-8/porting_to.html and fix bugs in packages or, if there is a gcc bug or suspected gcc bug, analyze and report. * Release engineering: PR#7249: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7249 Mass rebuild requested for F28. * Policies and guidelines: No policies need to be changed -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
