And committers need to learn that Devsummit discussions (and optional wiki's) are just like IRC ones -- we're all not there. But we're on the mailing lists. That's how we communicate far-and-wide. John and others bring up really good points. Until GCC is no longer used to build FreeBSD on any platform it should remain in all platforms. If part of your reasoning is to free up "gcc" and "g++" commands for ports -- fine, but change the names /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ on all platforms for something else. /usr/bin/fbsd-gcc & /usr/bin/fbsd-g++ or what not. -- -- David (obrien_at_FreeBSD.org)Received on Wed Sep 11 2013 - 18:28:30 UTC
