IMPORTANT: Please change gcc.spec.in and then run ./pre_checkin.sh!
Do not change gcc.spec directly!

Since GCC comes with a testsuite that runs for quite a long time and
that test suite also contains some known failures, we should run the
testsuite of GCC whenever the compiler is changed to ensure a high
quality compiler.

As the package is now split into two parts, gcc and libgcj, and libgcj
is a leaf package the testsuite is now always run from libgcj.  A dummy
package with the testresults, gcc-testresults, is generated from it.

Before checking in a new compiler, please do the following steps as QA
measure to check that the new compiler does not introduce any new
failures:

- Run mbuild for all archs for both the gcc and the libgcj subpackages

- When mbuild is finished, call
  /suse/rguenther/bin/compare-testresults.sh mbuild-directory
  (for the libgcj build).
  The output of that script should not show any failures.  If it does,
  please fix them or discuss this with the gcc package maintainers.

- Do not remove this file.

Thanks,
Your GCC packagers.
