| JohnRL | is something up with lp? for the last day or so, at any bzr branch attempt, I just get: "bzr brancConnection to 91.189.95.84 timed out while waiting to read" | 14:35 |

| JohnRL | oops. just "Connection to 91.189.95.84 timed out while waiting to read", I meant. | 14:36 |

| teward | is there a way to add gcc-4.7 to a ppa for the precise series so it can pull in that instead of the standard gcc in Precise? I've got an odd case of software that needs C++11 support for building and that's not available for Precise without extra software... | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | teward: no different from any other package, aside from being complicated :) a PPA implicitly takes build-dependencies from itself in preference to the primary archive, and you can add additional PPAs to satisfy build-dependencies if you wish (on Archive:+edit-dependencies) | 23:03 |
| cjwatson | teward: there's an "Other versions ..." expander on the bottom of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.7 which may be helpful | 23:03 |
| teward | cjwatson: the tricky part, I believe: setting g++-4.7 to be the alternative to use for g++ for the build environment for Precise - there's already a PPA with gcc-4.7 in it, we could pull that in, but the question is still how to *force* the dependency there to be used (in my Precise server, I did an update-alternatives revision temporarily for the build) | 23:30 |
| wgrant | teward: Ask the build process of your C++11 package to use g++-4.7 rather than g++. | 23:33 |
| wgrant | That's probably more sensible than uploading a new gcc-defaults just for a single package... | 23:33 |
| teward | wgrant: mmm, true, that would work, although a lot larger of a deviation than I hoped for. Not a huge problem though. (I already build-dep on two other PPAs I have, for Trusty, anyways) | 23:35 |
| wgrant | teward: Shouldn't that be a single line in debian/rules? | 23:35 |
| cjwatson | Should be trivial, indeed. | 23:35 |
| teward | wgrant: not 100% familiar with the debian/rules - effectively backporting `znc` from Debian -> old releases | 23:35 |
| teward | not sure how the package does it already, but could define that change. still have to add g++-4.7 to the build-depends though, but that's not too hard | 23:36 |
| cjwatson | This is worth putting some effort into learning. | 23:36 |
| teward | cjwatson: indeed. | 23:36 |
| teward | but it being Valentine's day, and me heading out to dinner in 30 minutes with the girlfriend, kinda was asking as a curiosityu | 23:36 |
| teward | will look into the actual making it work part tomorrow :) | 23:36 |
