Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-06-18 09:16:45 UTC

As the license of gmp changed from LGPLv3+ to "GPLv2+ and LPGLv3+" updating to this version in rhel-7.1 will help close:

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2014-06-19 10:33:30 UTC

According to http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/gmp.html there are no removed symbols between 5.1.3 and 6.0.0 (only added/removed/changed symbols were not present in 5.1.3). GMP is ABI/API level 2 component - thus it has to be stable across one major release. However, as the update capacity is always limited, I don't see this as a high priority.

Comment 5 Dan Horák 2014-09-04 11:30:12 UTC

http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.89576 (and my answer in the thread) is another reason, there are perfomance improvements in the 6.0 version at least for the s390(x) architectures, added optimized support for aarch64 and likely also other advantages

Comment 6 Ondrej Vasik 2014-09-04 11:47:39 UTC

Discussed with Dan and it makes sense from development point of view. However, it has to be confirmed with QE ( and API/ABI compat tested on all arches).
