[arch-dev-public] Test repository with gcc8
Hi all,
I've prepared external repository with GCC 8 built from trunk (as there is no stable release yet) that also contains glibc 2.27 and binutils 2.30.
[gcc8] Server = http://pkgbuild.com/~bpiotrowski/gcc8/
From less obvious packaging changes, glibc no longer ships with obsolete rpc and nsl, which means that you should switch your packages to libtirpc; also if your nsswitch.conf still contains "compat" instead of "files", better fix it before reboot. If for some reason you still use nsl, the repository also ships libnsl and libnsl_nis packages.
As usually, simple things build, and colossi like LibreOffice don't, but I haven't had time yet to check why. If you found some issue, the best would be to reply either here or arch-general.
Enjoy, Bartłomiej

I have updated gcc in the repository to snapshot from 2018-02-11 (r257571). Additionally, if you have access to soyuz, the repo can be easily used in build chroots with 'gcc8-x86_64-build' command (which also enables [testing]).

Nice, thanks!
Could you enable the password-less rules for sudo that are already setup for extra-x86_64-build? Currently gcc8-x86_64-build asks for a sudo password, but most of us are not sudoers on soyuz (and don't need to be).

Try now. My change may be overwritten as I didn't add it to our Ansible playbooks but I cross my fingers to see 8.1.0 soon.

Would it be worth adding a sudoers configuration that allows any /usr/bin/*-x86_64-build command? On the theory that that is a rather specific script suffix, and is exceedingly unlikely to be created in /usr/bin/ for any reason other than as a symlink to archbuild with a corresponding /usr/share/devtools/pacman-*.conf (which is presumably something that should always be allowed).

I'm not sure if it's worth it as the repo is only semi-official, and besides I've had time only for a band-aid today. Also you know where the infrastructure repo resides and I'll be more than happy to run 'git am' your patch if you share it on #archlinux-devops.
