The idea is to allow pushing libgcj updates separately from GCC updates, enabling faster bug fix turnaround. There's a separate patch for the GCC spec file. I've sent a version of it to Jakub, but it needs an update. This patch reduces the build requirements of GCC; for instance we no longer need gtk to build the GCC rpms. There is a helper script in the libgcj SRPM to create the initial source tar from the gcc srpm. I think maintenance-wise the best approach is to start with the current gcc sources and then apply libgcj patchese as needed. Rebasing to a new gcc is simply and automated with the script. With my patch the gcc spec file still builds libgcj. This lets us continue to run 'make check' to verify that compiler changes don't break the libgcj build. However, the libgcj built here has reduced functionality (e.g., no AWT peers -- this is why we can remove build requirements) and is not packaged. With this change, fastjar and grepjar move from the libgcj RPM into the gcc RPM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
