Bug 195264 – adding sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6 to portage

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-10-09 15:09:52 UTC]

I would like to add sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6 to portage. This would be a ppc64 only package and would 'provide' virtual/libstdc++-3.3.

The problem we have on ppc64 is this: libstdc++-v3 won't compile using gcc 4 (first seen in bug #97977). As a result we cannot compile neither gcc-3.4.x nor libstdc++-v3 on ppc64. Unfortunately we need libstdc++-v3 for the java binary packages from IBM.

As this only affects ppc64 I would like to bump this into stable before 2007.1 snapshot. As a result we can mask gcc-3 and sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 in the upcoming 2007.1 profiles for ppc64, since both packages do not compile with gcc-4.

toolchain: are you confident with this?

libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6.ebuild

the tarball sits currently here [1], but I would move it on the mirrors, when adding this package.

patch for the virtual

first patch was the wrong way around...

nah.. forgot the licence and the RDEPEND. As this is a binary package it depends on sys-libs/glibc and not virtual/libc.

what is wrong with just using the existing libstdc++-v3 package

> what is wrong with just using the existing libstdc++-v3 package

it won't compile. see bug #97977. Or do you mean "install the binary package with sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.6, instead of adding a separate package"?

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2007-10-09 17:47:56 UTC]

then why not fix libstdc++-v3 ?

because I don't have the knowledge and upstream won't do it:

vapier: are you now OK with adding this?

[Comment 10 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-10-23 17:34:03 UTC]

vapier: ping, I would like to get this into 2007.1 tarball if possible.

[Comment 11 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-10-25 16:14:59 UTC]

release: I would like to have this in 2007.1, so we have a useable jdk/jre (java is a binary package that depends on libstdc++-v3). I don't want to add this, unless toolchain says it's OK.

[Comment 12 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-11-02 19:40:57 UTC]

Well, this has really no hope of making it into the release unless you can get it into the tree $NOW and get it ready for stable *before* the end of the month.

[Comment 13 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-03 13:50:31 UTC]

Unless noone has serious reasons agains this I'll add it to portage at the end of next week. I plan to stabilize after a few days, as I've used this quite some time now on various machines.

[Comment 14 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-11-08 01:06:02 UTC]

I hope "by the end of next week" means "by Friday" of this week, otherwise, it isn't likely to make it into the release.

[Comment 15 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-08 08:17:25 UTC]

It's in the tree now (~ppc64) as noone gave a reason not to do so.

[Comment 16 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-08 18:09:19 UTC]

stable on ppc64

[Comment 17 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-11-13 21:46:55 UTC]

Great.  What other changes do I need to pull into the release snapshot?  Were there any other packages changed?  I would assume at least a couple Java packages, or possibly the virtuals?

[Comment 18 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2007-11-14 06:16:14 UTC]

sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-bin and updated virtual/libstdc++ needs to be in the snapshot. thanks.

[Comment 19 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-11-15 02:27:27 UTC]

Done... thanks...
