Are there live ebuilds of GCC - i.e. in an overlay?
After seeing phoronix benchmarks, I’d like to test the upcoming GCC 4.8, but I want to avoid installing it from hand… _________________ Being unpolitical means being political without realizing it. - Arne Babenhauserheide ( http://draketo.de )

Thanks to euscan I now found the correct overlay:

How did it work out for you? I was planning on doing the same, any huge showstoppers? Did everything build ok? _________________ Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning. |

layman -l gives
In package.unmask, I have: >=sys-devel/gcc-4.7
But emerge -av gcc, wants to install gcc-4.7.2-r1, which I am already using. I'm missing something needed to get gcc-4.8, but I don't what. Thanks,
Fred |

If you sync your main portage tree today, GCC 4.8.0 is available now, though currently hard-masked. No need to use an overlay anymore for GCC 4.8.0; you can just unmask the version in the main tree. |

Thanks -- I'm getting it now. Needed to add "=sys-devel/gcc-4.8* **" into /etc/portage/package.keywords. |

I find it easier to use <sys-libs/gcc-9999 for both package.keyworlds and package unmask.
Anyway, emerged -e world with just one failure: dev-lang/go. Everything else went fine. This is the smoothest transition to a newer gcc I remember. |
