Bug #605251 pyao fails to build from source with Linaro toolchain Bug #605248 ppp fails to build from source with Linaro toolchain Bug #604858 apt fails to build from source with Linaro toolchain Bug #604860 aptitude fails to build from source
So they are not linaro-gcc specific bugs. Shall we move them to somewhere else or change to "Invalid"?
So, we should ideally have done this check BEFORE filing it in gcc-linaro, since Matthias had reported a bunch of failures from http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi against the Ubuntu packages.
The right workflow is:
check whether the same failure is on http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi - if yes, this isn't Linaro specific, flag it as such in the wiki page, you're done; - else, file a gcc-linaro bug
Since Michael filed some bugs already, when looking at them check whether it's an issue in Ubuntu, if it isn't, investigate, otherwise check whether it's reported in Ubuntu already by going to the source package bugs page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo if you find a bug, mark the Linaro GCC bug as a duplicate of the Ubuntu bug; if you don't, add an Ubuntu task to the Linaro GCC bug using "Also affects distribution", and mark the Linaro task as Invalid.
Thanks!
