Dear release team,
I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.30. It is available in
experimental for 2 months and there are no known issues or regression.
It has been built successfully on all release architectures and most
ports architectures. It fails to build on hurd-i386 but it is already
fixed in git. It also fails to build on alpha, ia64 and sparc64 due
to a few testsuite issues that need to be investigated and which are
similar to existing failures in version 2.29. It doesn't build on
kfreebsd-*, but this has been the case for a few glibc releases already.
As glibc is using symbol versioning, there is no soname change. That
said a few packages are using libc internal symbols and have to be
rebuilt for this transition (some packages only on some architectures):
- apitrace
- bro
- dante
- gcc-9
- gcc-10
- gcc-snapshot
- libnih
- libnss-db
- unscd
Ben file:
Here is the corresponding ben file:
title = "glibc";
is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</;
is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.31\)/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.30\)/;
In addition a few new symbols have been added that might prevent a few
other packages to migrate to testing until glibc migrates if they pick
up the new symbols, however those are really limited in this version.
Thanks for considering.
