We will update our build container image between 26th and 29th Dec.
The goal of this update is fairly simple: setting GCC 4.9.2
as the default version in the container image.
If you want to keep using older versions of GCC, you can do so with update-alternatives
as described in our doc .

We’ve finished rolling out this update. Now, gcc 4.9 is the default version.
Please let us know if you find any issues.

Hey guys, been getting this everytime I try to run a test today:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 50 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g+±4.9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 50 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g+±4.9 returned exit code 2
update-alternatives: error: alternative g++ can’t be slave of gcc: it is a master alternative. Action failed: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 50 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g+±4.9
Were there any other changes in the container? I’m seeing builds fail that passed two days ago (straight retry of a passing build), so I’m just trying to track down possible causes.
In general, is there a changelog somewhere for the build container? That would be really useful, since we’ve hit failing builds due to tool version changes several times now, and it’s a pain to pin versions of everything.

@Plummat I thought you don’t have to do update-alternatives
anymore to use 4.9. Can you remove them?

@cvermilion
Not as far as I know.
In general, is there a changelog somewhere for the build container?
This is a great idea. It’s a bit hard to look but here is the entire change. I’ll post the entire changelog with nice format from the next time.
Changes after installing fortran.
