Hi, all,
this is the informational message, no action required.
Upon agreement between gcc maintainers and ELN SIG we would like to
switch ELN buildroot to use GCC11 ahead of Fedora Rawhide.
Though ELN is defined as the buildroot where Fedora Rawhide code is
rebuilt into EL-like environment, in the ELN proposal we also
mentioned that ELN can be used to test certain buildroot-related
features on the side so it doesn't block Fedora Rawhide development.
We think that GCC11 is one such feature, where we can benefit from
testing it first on a small subset of the Fedora content in a separate
environment.
We would like to invite everyone to join this effort.
The work is currently tracked on Github:
https://github.com/fedora-eln/eln/issues/8
Once GCC11 is merged to the eln tag in koji, one would be able to use
it via, for example, mock or container environment:
quay.io/fedoraci/fedora:eln-x86_64
For more info on ELN please refer to ELN Docs (as soon as I update
them, which hopefully happens later today):
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/eln/

Small update on the topic:
GCC11 has not landed in the ELN buildroot yet.
After we tried the first mass rebuild of ELN packages in a sidetag,
several issues were found by gcc maintainers. Jeff has more info on
that, but afaiu one issue is related to glib2 and waits for the
upstream fix.
Once the issue is fixed we may try new ELN mass-rebuild in the
sidetag, before doing any real updates in the buildroot itself. Exact
timing is yet to be defined.
We will be running this mass rebuild with the lowest priority, so that
it won't get in the way of regular Fedora builds. (We had a
misconfiguration in the rebuild script, which caused the queue on the
build system before. This issue is now fixed)
