Re: [platform-releng-dev] when to do compiler update(s)? and ....

[Daniel Megert <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I verified that the new compiler is used
in the latest 3.8 and 4.2 I-builds.

Ok, I'll upgrade the compiler later
today, with the compiler produced from this morning's I build, and do another
warm-up build, Sunday 8, and 10, unless someone says otherwise. 

I will also upgrade the Orbit maps for that warm-up build, especially for
the new version of JUnit 4.10 (bug 356065). 
As far as I know, that's the only substantial change anyone is expecting,
from Orbit but hope to update all Orbit entries to final Orbit M7 levels
and locations. 

Lastly, there was a message overnight about build I20120428-0140
which you can ignore (I was testing automating the production of pack.gz
files in final steps of build ... it didn't work, but pretty sure it will
for this morning's warm-up (and, if not, it will for tomorrow's). (bug
377436). 

Thanks,

We have to do it now, otherwise our builds report too many unjustified
warnings regarding switch statements on the downloads page.

We try hard that the compiler meets that expectation for M7/RC0 but there
might still be critical bugs that must be fixed (and adopted) during endgame.
Hence, the compiler is final when the SDK got declared.

For the SDK builds we always update the compiler directly after shipping
a milestone or RC build and don't change it, unless there are critical
issues that need to be fixed (see top of this mail ;-). I would suggest
the same strategy to upstream projects.
