Hi codonell, how goes this change for F44? The testable deadline is today, February 03, 2026, and changes need to be in good shape at this point https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_policy/#_change_process_milestones Please let me know if you need to defer this to F45, otherwise if you're good to go for the change to be ready to meet the testable requirements, please update the status of the tracker bug to MODIFIED. Thanks!

We are done. GCC is done: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-5eb45e8875 BINTUILS is done: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-6aa8e4b1bc GLIBC is done: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-22092ea559 - And moved to the stable release branch for ABI assurances. GDB is done: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-f4d94acce7 - Updated to the 17 release.
The Change page lists 16.1, but the update has gcc-16.0.1. Can you clarify and/or update the Change page to match?
(In reply to Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from comment #3) > The Change page lists 16.1, but the update has gcc-16.0.1. Can you clarify > and/or update the Change page to match? Initially GCC 16.0 (Stage 4, RC) is included, but as noted in the system-wide change request: ~~~ The latest point release for gcc 16 will be included in Fedora 44, this will most probably be 16.1 or 16.2. ~~~ In March-April timeframe the compiler will be rebased to the latest point release. This rebase should be minor and include discovered bug fixes, but gives us a final release for Fedora 44. As-is the system-wide change request is correct, but describes the *final* state (with versions) of the change. In this case we complete "Code complete (testable) deadline" in that we have tested GCC 16.0 (Stage 4, RC), but will end up collecting more bug fixes via GCC 16.1.
