-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Package: gcc Version: 4:9.2.1-3.1 Severity: wishlist It seems that the GCC-related packages (`cpp`, `g++`, etc.) have hard dependencies to one particular version of said programs, so when a new version of GCC is released and a package depends on `gcc` or `cpp`, I have to install multiple versions of GCC or CPP. I think that a better idea is to: 1. Make GCC-related packages virtual packages, and make various versions of `gcc` like `gcc-8` and `gcc-9` provide the `gcc` package name. 2. Use the debian-alternatives system for the GCC-related binaries, so if a program only needs to use a compiler, it would use the latest version (or user-specifies version with `update-alternatives`), and if a program needs a particular version, it would directly use `gcc-8` or `gcc-9`. -- Please limit your reply to 7-bit ASCII. I refuse to see your idiotic emoji in a TTY. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsBcBAEBCAAGBQJd11OtAAoJENi1YDlFXXQfk6IIAJQpYVtuOm0WaRGKRytF r6C1+L+bU3FwIFs1PWxeZTlyeP5Z64CChl6EscU4j+JQgKZKE84tWCysnGgB 5986TmDHh6aD3Z3x8l4XiL/Ukz3kWhnvATvIBKAbQGHSDKhhNvs+7cUtQbrc 42W0JsQeSlMfgITPkMFV8VHZ17FA45+U4YA/hexzMk3TPGLgXVGcvRb1JYqX O1UlV9h/OPce17v+YdOXSNPXY8Ob0DSrc7R7Sus/9YuMnE3rlouVowAy0G09 z8JfldBAHqp2CZKYvBkQQ+tAg3Otj0sgpQNlLgMlrWeI1oDqjKGWPc+qjbE8 dfYkWXrQAr2xIKCPVqSxcLA= =vGb5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
