Re: Debian and Ubuntu packages - 2015/06/03

[Alessandro Sangiuliano]

Should not be a problem for Philippe to compile everything present in 
his private repo with  clang (gnustep and stepchat) and then package 
them making .deb packages and pushing them in the repo.

The problem is that the packages inside the Philippe's repo can conflict 
with the official debian one, where packages still are built on gcc and 
the old runtime.

I think, Philippe, you should write on the Debian mailing list, asking 
for the possibilities to build gnustep and related software with clang.

My main system is wheeze, and I have all gnustep and related software 
built with clang3.3. Also, clang is present in the debian repos.

If I don't see and evolution inside the official debian repo, about 
gnustep, I think I'll go to write a rant on their mailing list due of a 
Debian user from years and years.
