Thanks for starting the g++-6 transition.
I suspect/believe that I "own" a (small) stack which needs a transition policy:
-- the "R" language (source package r-base) encodes its configuration time
choices for all subsequent compilations; here we have CXX and CXX1X (plus
CXX1Y in next release)
-- this could be overwritten but it easiest just to rebuild R
-- R itself is largely C and Fortran and will not be affected
-- C++ packages will. I am also upstream of the somewhat-widely used C++
interface in package Rcpp (source package rcpp). We need to rebuild it,
and then all packages dependending on it. See [1] below. There may also
be one or two C++ packages not using Rcpp such as r-cran-mcmcpack. I can
weed those out by hand by running a script over rdepends for R as
well. Actually just filtering rdepends for C++ works, see [2]
-- Ditto for the QuantLib library (depending on Boost) and r-cran-rquantlib
though that is a small leaf
Is this "small potatos" and something I should organize informally with the
package maintainers, or something you want to coordinate?
I CC'ed Doko and Martin has I have been discussing an open bug report (which
is somewhat false positive) concerning r-cran-rquantlib; this is really just
the need for the same C++ compiler between R, Rcpp, QuantLib and RQuantLib
(which this transition would achieve too).
Let me know if I should take this to debian-devel or some other list.
Thanks, Dirk
