Bug 705282 – =sys-libs/libcxx-9.0.1 uses lexicographical version compare

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2020-01-12 11:54:48 UTC]

sys-libs/libcxx uses lexicographical string version compare:

sys-libs/libcxx/libcxx-10.0.0.9999.ebuild:	if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-version) < 4.7 ]] ; then
sys-libs/libcxx/libcxx-7.1.0.ebuild:	if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-version) < 4.7 ]] ; then
sys-libs/libcxx/libcxx-8.0.1.ebuild:	if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-version) < 4.7 ]] ; then
sys-libs/libcxx/libcxx-9.0.1.ebuild:	if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-version) < 4.7 ]] ; then

The intention is likely to use 'ver_cmp'. See bug #705240 for hints to fix it.

    sys-libs/libcxx: drop invalid gcc-version check, bug #705282
    
    gcc-4.7 is very old version. The version check uses lexicographical
    compare. It should use version compare to be valid. Let's just drop
    the check.
