Hi Ward,
And what about these M4 modules:
M4/1.4.17
M4/1.4.17-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
M4/1.4.17-GNU-4.9.3-2.25
I guess the first one can go (since it’s just a dependency to build
binutils/2.25 as you mentioned below), but what’s the difference between
GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25 and GCC-4.9.3-2.25?
It should be safe to remove all the ones that are build-only (not
runtime) dependencies for binutils/2.25 or
binutils/2.25-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25, i.e.:
Bison/3.0.4
Bison/3.0.4-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
flex/2.5.39
flex/2.5.39-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
M4/1.4.17
M4/1.4.17-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
zlib/1.2.8
zlib/1.2.8-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25
You can also remove binutils/2.25 itself, since that's just there as a
build dep for GCC/4.9.3-binutils-2.25
Maybe we should have an easy way of marking stuff that are only build
dependencies in the output of --dry-run, or maybe even to automagically
remove stuff that is only a build dep.
There is no GCC/4.9.3-2.25, but there is GNU/4.9.3-2.25.
The latter is a small toolchain that basically just consists of
binutils+GCC that were bootstrapped on top of each other.
So, GCC/4.9.3-2.25 (which is GCC 4.9.3 built on top of binutils 2.25) is
a part of GNU/4.9.3-2.25, next to
binutils/2.25-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25 (i.e. binutils built with GCC
4.9.3 which was built on top of binutils 2.25).
The intention of all of this is to obtain a GCC+binutils combo that is
not tied to what the OS provides.

Kenneth

I’m wondering: why do I have both binutils/2.25 and
binutils/2.25-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25 (the same for Bison, flex, M4, zlib)?
Are the non-GCC-versions actually used, or are they just dependencies needed to
built the GCC-versions?
binutils/2.25 is build with the system compiler and used to bootstrap
GCC. After that we build binutils/2.25-GCC-4.9.3-binutils-2.25 and use
it. Bison & co are deps needed to build binutils.
In principle, you can delete binutils/2.25 (and deps).
