Most of the bugs filed on the gcc 4.8 tracker so far have been caused by |
| 2 |
packages being built with -Werror. I just noticed one package where the |
| 3 |
Makefile was being patched to remove -g from CXXFLAGS but -Werror on the same |
| 4 |
line was left in. Just in case people weren't aware, building with -Werror is |
| 5 |
a bad idea and against policy*. If you're fixing one of these bugs by |
| 6 |
silencing the warning be sure to remove the flag also. |

* said policy might not actually exist in writing outside of the mailing list. |
| 16 |
still a bad idea though. |
