Hi all, As Matthias posted about on ubuntu-devel last week[1], we are facing a transition with the update to gcc 5 in wily. Many C++ libraries will need rebuilds for an ABI transition due to changes in the C++11 support in gcc 5.
We have a silo in progress for this, so that this transition can be staged in a way that's minimally disruptive to the phone builds in wily, but we need the phone team's help this transition complete in a timely fashion. There are a number of bug reports filed a while ago for packages that have build-dependencies on g++-4.9, and need to be updated. The bugs are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=lsd-cxx11 the full list of affected packages is: dbus-cpp indicator-datetime indicator-display indicator-location indicator-network indicator-transfer location-service media-hub mediascanner2 mir net-cpp platform-api process-cpp qtmir qtmir-gles trust-store unity-api unity-scope-mediascanner unity-scopes-api unity-system-compositor unity8 The bugs are now marked critical, and there's good progress on a number of them with merge proposals raised, but we need these to be fixed as soon as possible; because once fixed, we will need to see which of these packages fail to build with gcc 5. There are already a number of packages failing to build, which will need to be fixed up as shown in the silo ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-016/+packages And once the above packages have been adjusted not to use g++-4.9, we may see a few more build failures. We'll prepare a list of all failing packages shortly to discuss with the responsible teams, but in the meantime if you want to get started on fixing the build failures shown there, there's no time like the present!
