is a minimum. A full out doc with all the FAQ and important notes about
what needs to be recompiled (in my opinion) would be a much more through
upgrade path, ofcourse still include the einfo quick instructions. But I
think the masses of users will not be happy when they realize that
emerge -e world && emerge -e world means that they will be compiling for
the next day (or 2 or 3), so a way to block the upgrade from messing up
people that wish to keep 3.3.x as default would be a good idea.
gcc-3.4.* will not be selected as your system compiler after merging it.
The
old gcc profile is still valid, therefore it is kept. Users have to
consciously go and change their profile to change their gcc, so nothing is
going to just magically break.
That makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I still think that something
more then an einfo warning should be provided, as its easy to overlook
those.
So make gcc-config produce warnings when changing the compiler.
"Switching to gcc-MAJOR.MINOR may break your system. Upgrade
instructions can be found at http://thedoc";
Trigger the message only when switching minor versions.
I like that idea alot actually. Perhaps also include in that warning
message that switching back is OKAY aslong as nothing has been compiled
with the new minor version.
:-P I vote for this choice.
