Hi all,
The gcc-4.4.0 toolchain rebuild is now in [testing]. Here is a rough
ChangeLog:
kernel-headers:
- upstream updated (2.6.29.1)
glibc:
- update cvs snapshot from 2.9 branch
- removed glibc-2.5-localedef_segfault-1.patch (old and appears fixed
upstream)
- removed glibc-2.7-bz4781.patch (rejected upstream as bug in gcc -
Andy: please check if your issue is solved)
- compress info pages
- fix info page handling in install script
binutils:
- update cvs snapshot from 2.19 branch
- remove texinfo dep through install script
- add upstream patch to improve -Wl,--as-needed usage
- add linker scripts for libbfd.so and libopcodes.so
- compress info pages
gcc-libs
- new makedepends (ppl and cloog-ppl)
- removed unneeded bison build patch
- removed treelang (done upstream)
gcc
- removals as in gcc-libs
- added dependencies on new packages ppl and cloog-ppl (for graphite
optimizations)
- update libstdc++ man pages
- install license exception
- compress info pages
I am having great difficultly getting a working gcc-gcj... It builds
fine using the gcc-gcj-4.3.x package but when I rebuild eclipse-ecj with
the freshly built 4.4.0 package, I can not rebuild gcc-gcj again.
Updating eclipse-ecj to the latest build does not fix the issue. After
two and a half days of trying to track this down, I am ready to give
up. If someone else wants to look at this, go ahead but...
Do we really need gcc-gcj, eclipse-ecj and java-gcj-compat any more?
Reason I see for removing it:
- I can't get it to build
- java-gcj-compat provides java-runtime, but I checked six packages in
the repos against this and none actually fully worked
- which also is very bad as it is the first package found by pacman for
java-runtime
- we have a free java now in openjdk6
Opinions?
Allan
