The current list of open gcc-6 bugs is this [1], I had a look at most
of them already. Some comments:
#811841 seqan: FTBFS with GCC 6: no match for
- refers to v1.4, AFAIK version 2.0 is already in the archive, so this
one should probably me closed.
#816569 mrs: FTBFS with GCC 6: was not declared in this scope
- is waiting for boost compiled with gcc-6 (i.e. c++11)
#811702 librg-blast-parser-perl
- not sure what to make of it, it also has the user-tag gcc-6-macro
which might point to a conflict between a newly defined macro and
a function.
#811859 berkeley-express
- requires static_cast<bool> on the shared pointer
#811866 hyphy
- Closed upstream?
#811893 swarm-cluster
- Needs knowledge with inline assembler
#812031 prime-phylo
- could be worked around by forcing to -std=c++98 in the maintainer
cxxflags (probably be best solution, because the use of constexpr
might require forcing c++11, and upstream might not yet want
that).
I think I'll look into #811702 and #811859 the next few days.
Best,
Gert
