[arch-general] Can't upgrade GCC from testing, clang requires 4.6.1
With the last push of GCC in testing, I have some kind of trouble to get pacman to update it. It seems that clang, which I'm using fro vim-clang-complete from AUR requires a fixed version of GCC ( and LLVM, but this now is not the my main concern) which makes me impossible to update GCC: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: clang: requires gcc=4.6.1 So, my question now is if it is safe to rebuild clang without the fixed version dependencie on GCC and then upgrade. Would clang break if the GCC version is different from 4.6.1?

I wouldn't think it would. Try it out and let us know. :) -- Gaetan

I've rebuild llvm and clang using gcc 4.6.2 and then reinstalled vim-clang-complete. It seems to work. Now second question, why the fixed version as clang dep?

Because our clang-2.9-6 package won't work with any other gcc than 4.6.1? -- Gaetan

It requires a rebuild with every release of gcc because the gcc paths change. The clang-toolchains-gcc-versions patch will also need to be updated.
