Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2017-11-22 20:39:52 UTC
Recently gcc6 was stabilized and, when I was reading the pointed:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_GCC

I was having some doubts. In my concrete case I had:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Upgrading_GCC#Drop_or_move_to_another_place_information_for_old_gcc_versions
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Upgrading_GCC#Clarify_if_we_must_or_not_to_run_revdep-rebuild
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Upgrading_GCC#List_all_packages_to_rebuild_in_Short_version
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Upgrading_GCC#Contradictory_information_in_.22Which_packages_are_known_to_need_a_rebuild.3F.22_and_next_section

But, as you can see, it seems that people taking care of the article don't have the enough knowledge about gcc, neither mine. Hence, could any of you give his opinion on this issues? I am also unsure about if this page would be better moved to the Project:Toolchain area to prevent other users from editing the page randomly

Thanks a lot

After you filed this bug I already did a lot of cleanups there. It should be better now... 

Let's keep the bug open for now though, I'm sure the wiki article can still be improved.

Ah, great , thanks :)
Comment 3 toon 2019-04-26 15:26:36 UTC
In think in section "Which packages are known to need a rebuild?" there is a typo "dev-python/wxGTK" it should be x11-libs/wxGTK.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2019-04-27 17:10:20 UTC
just fixed, thanks
Comment 5 toon 2019-04-29 00:14:28 UTC
Also it maybe good to mention that wxGTK require to be rebuild in all installed slots. Maybe like this?:
  emerge --ask --oneshot --usepkg=n x11-libs/wxGTK:3.0 x11-libs/wxGTK:3.0-gtk3

Current command rebuild only one version, and that may cause a problems.
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2019-04-29 07:25:11 UTC
That is the same as llvm and clang
Comment 7 toon 2019-04-29 13:55:03 UTC
Yes. I think it will be good to add a few words about that.
Comment 8 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-11-24 23:10:34 UTC
The page looks reasonable.
