[PATCH] Update the i18n, UTF-8 and translit_* files to Unicode 9.0.0
by Mike FABIAN 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Unicode 9.0.0 has been released recently (2016-06-21). Here is a patch to update the i18n, tr_TR, UTF-8, and the translit_* files to Unicode 9.0.0. I have sent this patch to the libc-alpha mailing list already (against current master of glibc). This patch here is against our current F24 package. Is it OK to push this to F24 and apply it to master? -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)redhat.com> ☏ Office: +49-69-365051027, internal 8875027 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

recvmsg@GLIBC_2.24 removal
by Florian Weimer 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

In case the revert <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00339.html> proceeds upstream, I am going to turn recvmsg(a)GLIBC_2.24 and the related symbols into a compat symbol, and move the default back to the previous version. This should keep existing binaries working, while new binaries will pick up the previous symbol version. After a while, I'll use symboldb <https://pagure.io/symboldb> to check if there are still any RPMs So in short, we have a plan to implement the revert even without a mass rebuild. You don't have to oppose the revert for Fedora's sake. :) Florian

Fedora 25 proposals
by Florian Weimer 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Here is a list of things I would like to propose for Fedora 25: Split all NSS modules into separate packages, except nss_files and nss_dns. This will make it eventually possible to deprecate nss_hesiod, and build nss_nis and nss_nisplus against libtirpc instead of the built-in RPC library. Remove dns from the networks service in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Hardly anyone needs it, and the implementation is quite broken anyway. It just increases attack surface needlessly. Build rawhide *and* the f25 branch with assertions enabled. Use a single statically linked binary for sln and ldconfig. Florian
