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.
