Look at how Debian maintainers solved this issue and use please alternatives. For a build farm there is a default gcc compiler, the current release; alternative gcc releases should be used directly, without alternatives help or in dedicated zones. To cripple the public packages for a specific build farm requirement seems to me a big compromise. -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
