GLIBC_2.24 compatibility hack removal (rhbz#1344830)
by Florian Weimer 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi, I have pinged package maintainers about rawhide uploads for the remaining users, namely: source | build_time -----------------------------+--------------------- NetworkManager-1.2.2-2.fc25 | 2016-06-02 19:32:55 OpenIPMI-2.0.22-1.fc25 | 2016-06-02 19:52:49 glib2-2.49.1-2.fc25 | 2016-06-01 20:15:54 hostapd-2.5-4.fc25 | 2016-06-06 19:16:47 libnice-0.1.13-6.fc25 | 2016-06-10 19:09:03 nftables-0.6-1.fc25 | 2016-06-02 20:22:48 ntp-4.2.6p5-41.fc25 | 2016-06-02 15:31:49 tigervnc-1.6.0-6.fc25 | 2016-06-02 07:34:54 weechat-1.5-1.fc25 | 2016-06-05 16:24:00 (9 rows) This is for the primary architectures. Once those are done, I will double-check the secondary architectures to see if they have any architecture-specific packages which still need rebuilds. Florian

libcrypt without NSS dependency goal
by Florian Weimer 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

For Fedora 25, we have a goal to provide libcrypt without the NSS dependency. It turns out I cannot easily build libcrypt twice and install it into different, conflicting subpackages because RPM does not support that. See rhbz#1358776 for details. So what do we want to do with this goal? Drop it? Or rely on ldconfig running from %post to create the necessary symbolic links, and ship the file under different names? Thanks, Florian

Split NSS modules implemented (rhbz#1338889)
by Florian Weimer 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

I have just pushed glibc-2.23.90-29.fc25, which splits out NSS modules into nss_db, nss_nis (for nis, nisplus, compat) and nss_hesiod. There is also a glibc-nss-devel package which contains the .so symbolic links. My testing looks good so far; more testing welcome. Thanks, Florian

tunables for rawhide
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi, I've posted another iteration of patches for tunables on libc-alpha[1][2][3]. Florian, I have implemented your suggestion of storing them as their target data type instead of strings and also now implemented them as a dynamic linker feature so that they can be used as early as IFUNC selection. This also means that the dynamic linker environment variables can also be built into the tunables. Would one of you be able to review them and let me know if 1/2 is suitable for rawhide? We can then try to move forward the discussion for 2/2. There seem to be a growing number of people interested in tunables, so I'm trying to do this on a priority now. I realized it a bit too late for 2.24, but I think this can be backported too since there is no ABI impact. Thanks, Siddhesh [1] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00234.html [2] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00236.html [3] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00235.html

Pretty-printer tests fail on rawhide
by Florian Weimer 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

The new pretty-printer tests fail on rawhide. The test framework has various problems (output not captured in .out files, GDB startup scripts not disabled). The cause of the test failure seems to be that the pretty printers are not registered at all: (gdb) gdb-test% info pretty-printer global pretty-printers: builtin mpx_bound128 I'll get to this eventually, but if anyone has an idea how to fix this, I welcome suggestions. Thanks, Florian

[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。
