Public bug reported: [filed for gcc-4.7, because gcc-4.8 isn't yet available in LP]
Proposing to upload gcc-4.8 to raring (as packaged in the ubuntu- toolchain-r/test PPA). Rationale: Make gcc-4.8 available to developers in the latest Ubuntu release for development purposes. GCC-4.8 will become the default GCC in the s-series, and the next LTS release, so exposing this earlier to (not only Ubuntu) developers might be good idea. This is not a proposal to make gcc-4.8 the default at this point (well, maybe except for gccgo, which doesn't have any reverse build dependencies). http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html shows the list of changes. The runtime libraries in GCC didn't bump soversions in 4.8 (except for libgo and libgcj). These are the packages then built from the gcc-4.8 sources instead of the gcc-4.7 sources. The compilers stay the same. The proposal includes updating the gcc-4.8 package to a 4.8.1 release as a stable release update for raring. I'm running a raring desktop with the binaries installed from the gcc-4.8 source package since January without problems. Same for armhf build environments. ** Affects: gcc-4.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gcc-4.7 (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gcc-4.7 (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gcc-4.7 (Ubuntu Raring) Milestone: None => ubuntu-13.04-beta-1 ** Description changed: [filed for gcc-4.7, because gcc-4.8 isn't yet available in LP] Proposing to upload gcc-4.8 to raring (as packaged in the ubuntu- toolchain-r/test PPA).
