Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-02 14:02:10 UTC
Hello,

you're receiving this canned bug because the package in summary uses the flag -Werror during build, which transforms warnings in errors, and is prone to break software when new GCC releases are added to Gentoo.

Please make sure your package does not use -Werror during build, so that it can be more future-proof for the new GCC releases.

Thanks,
Diego

Diego, I really appreciate your QA work, but reports like this just pose unnecessary workload on package maintainers. Nothing is broken with this package, and in case any issues should arise with future GCC versions, then we shall decide if we fix the cause of the warning or its symptoms.

Besides, it's much easier to fix this issue upstream than to carry a patch or sed tweak along with the Gentoo package.

Well, if you wish to bring it upstream, more power to you, but I think this is a pretty valid concern with Gentoo. Should I find a CFLAGS combination that can cause doxymacs from dying _with current gcc_? I can do that.

Gentoo builds should really not use -Werror.

Added "append-flags -Wno-error". No revbump since it's a build-time issue.
Could you please report it upstream, too?
