Sure, improving the docs is always welcome. Note that I've provided a macro in the metapackage that ought to be used when you want to build a package using DTS/GTS: %enable_devtoolset11 (rather than . /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-11/enable and similar). So the docs should mention that. > Cheers > > [1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2074663 > [2]: > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/developing_c_and_cpp_applications_in_rhel_8/additional-toolsets-for-development_developing-applications > [3]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/darktable/pull-request/6 > [4]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/darktable/pull-request/7 Marek _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
