Interesting, you're first who asks for that. Currently,<br>
there is<br>
nobody working on it.<br>
<br>
<br>
We're working on moving to EL 7, but still need to support EL 6<br>
installations. We'd also like to start allowing use of C++11 in<br>
our code<br>
base and using the same version of gcc on both EL 6 and 7 seemed<br>
like<br>
the best way to accomplish both of these goals.<br>
<br>
If you're willing to try that, I wouldn't be against, I<br>
just must<br>
warn you that rebuilding devtoolset is always a lot of fun<br>
(like<br>

<br>
<br>
What's the best way to start this?<br>
Are there modifications that are required for source .rpm (removing<br>
RedHat naming, etc)? Or is it just start building it and dealing<br>
with<br>
the issues that pop up?<br>
<br>
<br>
There is no need to remove any naming, we usually take srpm from RH<br>
and rebuild. However, the bootstrapping is usually very challenging.<br>
I'd recommend first to try to rebuild at least basic packages<br>
yourself using mock (or copr), so you see how far you can get..<br>
Then, if you'll see it is worth the work, we can create tags/targets<br>
in CBS and start with real rebuilds.<br>
<br>
<br>
I was just going to start playing around with this on COPR and I noticed<br>
that there appears to already be an existing build of devtoolset-2:<br>

<br>
It looks like it's not complete because only some of the packages<br>
succeeded, but would that serve as the best starting point? If so,<br>
what's the best way to move forward with that?<br>

Well, why not, I can add you as collaborator in this project -- what is your copr username? However, I'm afraid that whoever tried that, he got blocked on some non easy issues, which is the reason why it is not finished.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">My username is daveisfera.<br><br>Is there anything special that needs to be done to do these builds?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Is there an original location for the source rpms?
