Comment(by adfernandes@…):
Well, personally, I'm all for using the lastest-and-greatest compiler...
except when doing so breaks my codebase or forces me to recompile a
zillion dependencies. A forced upgrade on boost, qt4, and kde4 will
generate enough heat to keep Moscow warm all winter! :-)
But... choice in compiler is one of the features `[sic]` of MacPorts. I'm
not a core developer, just a heavy user, and really don't want to get into
(what I suspect) is a religious war. Sometimes I feel like I have spent
1/2 my life waiting for Gentoo to recompile my whole distro... and then
the other 1/2 is waiting for Ubuntu or Fedora to update their packages
because I need a build-option that they didn't include... :-)
BTW - my default compiler (10.5.8) is still 4.0; I suspect you're on SL if
your ''default'' compiler is 4.2. There are definitely optimizer changes
between those two.
Anyway - since you've taken over the port completely, I need your approval
to commit. So - three questions:
1. Can I commit the patch, so as per current MacPorts tao people can
select their compiler?
2. Do you want me to add `openmaintainer` to the port so that you don't
need to be bothered with trivial updates? MacPorts policy allows commits
without maintainer approval for '''trivial''' changes only; big changes
require maintainer approval still.
3. Are you adding the `[[BR]]` tags to the trac entries on purpose? I'd
request you not do that; it makes the email summaries really hard to read!
Thanks,
-Andrew.
