File README.First-for.SuSE.packagers of Package gcc43
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.
