Proposed System Wide Change: Remove GCC from BuildRoot https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot Owner(s): * Igor Gnatenko <ignatenkobrain at fedoraproject dot org> Removing gcc and gcc-c++ from default buildroot in Koji and mock. == Detailed description == Since beginning of Fedora, gcc (and gcc-c++) are installed in every buildroot. Times have changed and nowadays many of packages are not written in C/C++, they are written in Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go, Rust, OCaml, Perl and so on so they don't need to have C/C++ compiler. Installing gcc and gcc-c++ takes time so if we remove it, we can improve build times for many of the packages. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Remove gcc, gcc-c++ from build group in Koji and from buildsys-build group in comps. * Other developers: Maintainers should follow guidelines and add BuildRequires: gcc if they need it during build (this guideline exists for long time). * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7317 #7317] ** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: Nothing needed, guidelines already have paragraph about listing all required BuildRequires. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- 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
