Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2021-5848dcbea8
2021-09-27 01:39:43.836931
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gcc-epel
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 8.4.1
Release : 3.el8
URL :
http://gcc.gnu.org
Summary : Various compilers (C, C++, Objective-C, ...)
Description :
The gcc package contains the GNU Compiler Collection version 8.
You'll need this package in order to compile C code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Transformation of the GNU Compiler Collection from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
(gcc-8.4.1-1.el8) into gcc-epel to achieve the missing RPM packages for
Ada/GNAT, GCC JIT, Go, Objective-C and Objective-C++ that Red Hat decided to
remove (see: [Considerations in adopting RHEL
8](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-
us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/compilers-
and-development-tools_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8), and this also won't
change as per [bug
#1826731](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1826731)). Important:
Please use `gnatgcc`, `gobjc` or `gobjc++` rather than `gcc` for a GCC with
Ada/GNAT, Objective-C or Objective-C++ support because `gcc` is unfortunately
not really modular and was also built without support for these programming
languages by Red Hat (or a vendor of a 100% bug-for-bug compatible drop-in
distribution).
