Hello,
I have opened 3 pull requests for compat-gcc-34:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/compat-gcc-34/pull-requests
fixing FTBFS errors in 3 currently existing Fedora releases.
Thank you all who helped me with this task. What is the next step
to make them actually merged? I have not received any feedback from
the maintainer, I believe he's just very busy.
Also, just to clarify: I still don't know whether it is correct to just
bump the required version of libstdc++, I just bump it because it has been
done so many times in the past.
"libstdc++ < 7.0.0" seems to be an attempt to ensure that an
ABI-compatible version of libstdc++ is used, and conservatively names
a version that is known to be compatible (rather than assuming that
all future versions will be compatible).
The libstdc++ from GCC 8.x is ABI compatible with 3.4.x, so bumping
the Requires: to 9.0.0 (allowing any GCC 8.x release) is fine.
I'd be tempted to simply remove the version, so just have
Requires: libstdc++, or maybe Requires: libstdc++ >= 3.4.0 because
it's unlikely that libstdc++ will introduce an ABI break before that
spec file becomes obsolete. But maybe I'm not conservative enough :-)
I'll add comments to bugzilla.
