Hi, all,
this is the informational message, no action required.
Upon agreement between gcc maintainers and ELN SIG we would like to
switch ELN buildroot to use GCC11 ahead of Fedora Rawhide.
Though ELN is defined as the buildroot where Fedora Rawhide code is
rebuilt into EL-like environment, in the ELN proposal we also
mentioned that ELN can be used to test certain buildroot-related
features on the side so it doesn't block Fedora Rawhide development.
We think that GCC11 is one such feature, where we can benefit from
testing it first on a small subset of the Fedora content in a separate
environment.
We would like to invite everyone to join this effort.
The work is currently tracked on Github:
https://github.com/fedora-eln/eln/issues/8
Once GCC11 is merged to the eln tag in koji, one would be able to use
it via, for example, mock or container environment:
quay.io/fedoraci/fedora:eln-x86_64
For more info on ELN please refer to ELN Docs (as soon as I update
them, which hopefully happens later today):
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/eln/
Other issues aside, it would have been nice to mention that you're
running a mass rebuild of ELN with GCC 11, and indeed, running it
right now.
I only noticed because a koji build I submitted has been stuck as idle
in the task queue for almost an hour already, so I'm not going to wait
for that to finish today.
