== Summary ==
Fedora has historically forced packages to build with GCC unless the
upstream project for the package only supported Clang/LLVM. This
change proposal replaces that policy with one where compiler
selection
for Fedora follows the package's upstream preferences.
Sadly some upstreams insist on clang just because they like it more,
without any technical reason. The question that comes to my mind:
Should we still try to convince upstreams to use GCC in such cases or
not?
Also does this mean that Clang is now fully supported compiler by full-
time working people @ Red Hat in toolchains team that are also
contributing to upstream? Just curious if we will be able to "fully
support" people when we find bugs in the compiler.
Yes, for Clang and LLVM. Not for the libc++ standard library though.
And also, does it mean that we will be following same pattern as with
GCC to test pre-release versions in rawhide, do the mass rebuild and so
on?
Good question.
