==== Versions of GCC ====

There are many versions of [[http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=&portname=gcc&wildcard=yes|gcc]] in the ports tree.

  * It is painful for builders (especially the ones using qemu) to have so many versions.
  * Some only exist to satisfy dependencies.

This page discusses the list of ports that we should try to update to reduce the dependencies.

==== Current versions in the tree ====

:!: The **usage** column does not include ports that hardwire the version.  See [[HardcodedGCCVersions]] for that list.
