I'm not sure we've ever reported required compiler versions for the Ceph toolchain. :/ I'd merge a PR doing somewhere, probably in the README file. But honestly to do that properly we'd have to keep track of which version of gcc will build the source, and I have a suspicion we won't notice anything like that unless it breaks our gitbuilders — which include a CentOS 6 one using standard tools, so the necessarily compiler is at least readily available! :) -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
