https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D231590 Bug ID: 231590 Summary: [exp-run] Update GCC_DEFAULT from 7 to 8 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: gerald@FreeBSD.org CC: jbeich@FreeBSD.org, ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org, tobik@freebsd.org Flags: exp-run? After late updates to GCC 4.8 and GCC 4.9 (both of which were unmaintained upstream at that point), with GCC 5 we were ahead of the curve a little, and the updates to GCC 6 and GCC 7 came when these had at least a year of upstream lifetime left. Let's see whether we can now move to the latest upstream release series, GCC 8, which would be unprecedented since the update to GC 4.2 (in base back then)! This *should* be easier now, with many ports fixed during those upgrades above (be it in terms of code, be it in terms of honoring CFLAGS and the like, be it in terms of yanking them from the tree, updating to a newer version,...). Sooo, let's see how many ports need to be fixed (once again), and how long that takes this time... https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-8/porting_to.html and https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-8/changes.html may be useful resources for anyone helping. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
