Bug 585370 – sys-devel/gcc-5.4.0 version bump howto

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ulenrich 2016-06-08 11:20:01 UTC]

As gcc-5.4 just is a bugfix release you just have 

1) to copy these files:

sys-devel/gcc-5.4.0.ebuild  
from gcc-5.3.0.ebuild

<distfiles>/gcc-5.4.0-piepatches-v0.6.5.tar.bz2 
from gcc-5.3.0-piepatches-v0.6.5.tar.bz2

<distfiles>/gcc-5.4.0-uclibc-patches-1.0.tar.bz2
from gcc-5.3.0-uclibc-patches-1.0.tar.bz2

2)gcc-5.3.0-patches-1.1.tar.bz2 
needs removal of patches to produce a working 
<distfiles>/gcc-5.4.0-patches-1.1.tar.bz2 

because some bugs had been fixed shown at:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=5.4

My local version bump worked deleting just these files:
36_all_gcc-ia64-pr60465.patch
77_all_gcc-5-pr65958.patch
85_all_gcc5-aarch64-pr65689.patch
91_all_pr69140-msabi-stack-alignment.patch

My recompiling of amd64 @system 
seems to work keeping following prNNNNN files alive:
38_all_sh_pr24836_all-archs.patch
70_all_gcc-5-pr546752.patch
90_all_pr55930-dependency-tracking.patch

And of course all other patches put in:
<distfiles>/gcc-5.4.0-patches-1.1.tar.bz2

Don't CC arches for a version bump request.

[Comment 2 Ulenrich 2016-06-08 16:55:21 UTC]

After some hours testing the gcc-5.4.0 by using the command:
emerge -1 @system $(qlist -IC libs dev-qt )
successfully compiled 257 out of ongoing 352 packages.

Without any error:
unstable Gentoo ~amd64 
2009 Macmini coreDuo system.
