 Gytis Ivaskevicius | We were talking about ion shell a little - got an email about this :D https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/ion/-/merge_requests/1157 | 11:32:40 |

andi-: You suggest seed->GCC8->GCC9->GCC10, right? What I'm saying is if the seed is capable of building GCC9 but not GCC10 you don't need to keep the entire chain. You'd do seed->GCC8, start again from the seed->GCC9->GCC10. Oh yes of course. As long as you can skip a version you should do it. | 11:34:58 |
 toonn | Oh ok, that wasn't obvious to me from what you were saying. | 11:35:24 |
| andi- | well it is common for compilers such as rustc to always require the previous version. | 11:38:47 |
| andi- | GCC might be a different story as they actually have a language spec.. | 11:39:01 |
| toonn | Require? That's unfortunate. Thank god GHC doesn't do that. | 11:46:55 |
| andi- | Can you still boot GHC from bash or C ? | 11:56:29 |
