[swift-corelibs-dev] Compilation Error - Which Toolchain

[Tony Parker]

Yah, because of the integration with the CI system (which we absolutely want), master of scl-foundation should certainly track Swift master.

I’m hoping that this kinds of incompatibilities are a temporary problem, and that as things settle down in the Swift 3 release we will have less source breaking changes to coordinate.

We could invent some kind of solution where we have a ‘stable’ branch which uses the last toolchain, but frankly managing the complexity of that would probably be not worth it in the end.

The other option is to have CI post snapshots more often, and I think that’s something that is also being looked into.

The pre-canned toolchain snapshots from swift.org get stale quickly. Building the toolchain from swift source takes a long time, over three hours in my experience. Given the commit cadence on swift master rebuilding the toolchain daily isn’t a viable option.
