Have not yet had an oppty to review specifics, but...</span><br><br>During our last <em>threaten-to-publish-a-repo</em> episode, I'd put some work into these build tools as well. Specifically, was in extensive dialog with the authors to remediate various errors from automake test suites. Believe I put up the submission - on our issues list(?) - which included patches. In addition, in another email/submission to the list, I'd referenced results of these tests - for virtually everything in oi-build at that point. <br><br>I think we should be trying to use at least the best parts(?) of our earlier attempts at process in order to ease the way forward - are we using the issues list any more?<br><br>Specifically, I'd done a lot of work on patching and packaging automake - these were virtually ready-to-go at that point; may be due a version bump by now. I'd like that work to not be lost now.<br><br><span>I also feel that we should be sticking with Rich Lowe's Illumos-specific bump to gcc; we have to get through the growing pains of figuring out how best to make it all 'hang together'. From there, the version bump to newer gccs should be much easier.</span><br><span> </span><br>(Glad to see there is a core group of us here still quite interested in OI's future...)<br><br><span>Regards,</span><br><br><span>Lou Picciano</span><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: adam stevko <adam.stevko@gmail.com><br>To: OpenIndiana Developer mailing list <oi-dev@openindiana.org><br>Sent: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:03:46 -0000 (UTC)<br>Subject: Re: [oi-dev] Compiler migration #2<br><br><br> <div id="reply-content"><br> Bumping for reviews.<br> <div id="reply-content"><br><div id="reply-content">Adam<div id="318BD1C600DB45B1A94DCDC68D7BCBC2"><p style="color: #A0A0A8;">On Saturday, 26 January 2013 at 17:14, Gordon Ross wrote:</p><blockquote style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;"><div id="quoted-message-content"><div><div>I'm pretty sure some distros would like the consistency of<div>using the same gcc version the OS uses.
