It seems 4.8 still builds libobjc4, so no changes for the archs that were already on 4.7. my understanding is that the gnustep framework provides a framework that allows for setting the compiler used explicitly. So that could be used. I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with the other archs re: gcc... Me neither.

Yes, with gnustep-base built with the patch I have prepared I found only two grave issues so far: gnustep-dl2: DBModeler aborts on startup with NSInvalidArgumentException textedit.app: Cannot create new documents or open existing text files Every other package seems to work properly without recompilation or any special intervention (having in mind that I haven't tested every bit of the provided functionality). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, Sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

We'll either have to fix this with a transition (preferable for us), or backport the fixes for gnustep-base and binNMU gnustep-gui where it is needed. Do you have an idea on which fixes are needed to be backported if we don't have time to do a transition? Did you test them?

The changes are minimal but are in a hairy area and that makes me feel uneasy. This combination has never been tested upstream either. If we have to resort to that route (no transition), then we'd need: 1) a sourceful upload of gnustep-base with the gcc-4.7/libobjc4 fix 2) binNMUs for gnustep-gui on some architectures (amd64 only, at first glance) 3) fix for #663388, either in gnustep-back or mknfonts.tool -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Yavor, and thanks for checking with us. Yavor Doganov ya...@gnu.org (19/05/2012): We'd like to carry out a GNUstep transition prior to the forthcoming release: libgnustep-base1.22 - 1.24 libgnustep-gui0.20 - 0.22 libobjc3 - 4 (on architectures where gcc-4.7 is the default) I plan to upload the new GNUstep stack to experimental within a few days, then make a test rebuild of all GNUstep packages and identify all bugs (GCC-related bugs have already been reported); then I'll follow up with a summary of affected packages. What happens if the gcc-defaults switch is finally reverted? End of may is approaching and that's the deadline the maintainer set to settle on a possible revert (which various release team members have been asking for since day 0). I wouldn't bother too much gathering all involved packages, I'll just set up a tracker, which should determine those and the dependencies between them. Uploading to experimental is a good idea, real tests + clearing NEW in advance is always a good idea. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The same if 4.7 becomes the default compiler on more architectures, as Matthias Klose indicated on our list. Either way, the current state is broken, because -base is linked with libobjc3 while -gui is mixed because it failed to built at that time, so many GNUstep packages are unusable because they end up linking with two ObjC runtimes. We'll either have to fix this with a transition (preferable for us), or backport the fixes for gnustep-base and binNMU gnustep-gui where it is needed.
