Bug Description
This is a follow-up to LP: #1848319. I'd like to update the gcc-8 packages in bionic to the final 8.4.0 release.
- gcc-8, update to the gcc-8.4.0 release
- corresponding gcc-cross packages
The package builds are prepared in
https:/
[Impact]
Provide an upstream release for GCC 8.4, the non-default GCC in 18.04 LTS.
[Regression Potential]
There is regression potential, however the compiler is not used by default. Affected packages are libgcc1 and libstdc++6.
[Test Case]
No regressions in the GCC test suite. We don't do a test rebuild, as that would use GCC 7 only.
Cross compiler packages should just build.
[Validation]
Analyze the build logs for regressions.
For the cross builds, just make sure that the packages build using
the updated sources.
Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,
Accepted gcc-8 into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https:/ /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ gcc-8/8. 4.0-1ubuntu1~ 19.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Testing/ EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification- needed- eoan to verification- done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed- eoan. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/QATeam/ PerformingSRUVe rification . Thank you in advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
