Bugzilla Bug 245160

This bug will be used to track all packages that must be stabilized before
gcc-4.3.

- Please file a NEW bug for each package that needs to be stabilized and have
it BLOCK this one.

- The bug should be assigned to the maintainer of the package, not gcc-porting. 

- Please don't add gcc-porting to the CC list.  The amount of mail we get on
these things is already scary.

- DO NOT use this bug for any problems with GCC 4.3 itself.  Instead, file a
NEW bug describing your issue and assign it to toolchain.

Thanks.

>=sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r2 will be also required (at least for amd64), but I haven't had any tracker or stabilization bug for this (and I don't know what glibc version would toolchain herd want to stabilize...)

I think the herd want to stabilize glibc 2.8

 So, Ryan...we need another tracker for Glibc, as some packages are still
broken with it.  Temporarily adding the Glibc issue tracker (not stabilisation)

in my opinion, the only things holding this back now are the glibc-2.8
stabilization (bug #247553) and boost (bug #245192)

Ok, we just have the stragglers left. Here is the status on all remaining open
bugs that are blocking the stabilization. With the expection of a few important
ones (glibc & boost), IMHO, the others are not so important.

issues with packages:

bug 245704 (many arches, but broken)
bug 245715 (doesn't build)

other:
bug 257585 (security bug, all arches done)

(In reply to comment #5)

a) thanks!
b)  aspell:
> bug 259542 (no arches yet at time of writing)
this is also a blocker IMO.

okay, time to get this done

Status of all open bugs:

bug 198121 - gcc 4.3 porting, very unlikely to get closed before gcc-4.3 is
stable (eg. glibc-2.8 porting bug is still open)
bug 225459 - glibc-2.8 porting
bug 247553 - glibc-2.8 stablereq, all arches done.

treecleaner (pmasked):
bug 227743

ppc only:
bug 245293 (games bug)
bug 245296 (games bug)

sparc only:
bug 245549

m68k only:
bug 259542

Random / Issues with package:
bug 245439 - won't build now..
bug 245875 - x86 only, but issues.
bug 245715 - issues and maintainers lie silent
bug 245681 - maintainer wants to wait before marking stable. (I don't see much
point, but his call I guess)
bug 245701 - Multiple arches, test suite failure. (alpha, arm, ia64, s390, sh)
bug 245704 - Multiple arches, test suite failure. (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)
bug 245707 - Multiple arches, (amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, x86)
bug 263334 - boost patch for 1.34, Ryan is handling this one and it will
probably be applied without a revbump.

Much progress since Comment #5

vapier: i think we can go ahead now.

sounds good ... i'd file a new bug to target 4.3.2-r3 for stable

all archs?
