Hello, I have opened 3 pull requests for compat-gcc-34: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/compat-gcc-34/pull-requests fixing FTBFS errors in 3 currently existing Fedora releases. Thank you all who helped me with this task. What is the next step to make them actually merged? I have not received any feedback from the maintainer, I believe he's just very busy. Also, just to clarify: I still don't know whether it is correct to just bump the required version of libstdc++, I just bump it because it has been done so many times in the past.
"libstdc++ < 7.0.0" seems to be an attempt to ensure that an ABI-compatible version of libstdc++ is used, and conservatively names a version that is known to be compatible (rather than assuming that all future versions will be compatible). The libstdc++ from GCC 8.x is ABI compatible with 3.4.x, so bumping the Requires: to 9.0.0 (allowing any GCC 8.x release) is fine. I'd be tempted to simply remove the version, so just have Requires: libstdc++, or maybe Requires: libstdc++ >= 3.4.0 because it's unlikely that libstdc++ will introduce an ABI break before that spec file becomes obsolete. But maybe I'm not conservative enough :-) I'll add comments to bugzilla. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
