Bug#1019845: transition: glibc 2.35



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-glibc@lists.debian.org

Dear release team,

I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.35. It has been
available in experimental for one month and does not have any known
major issue. It has been built successfully on all release architectures
and many ports architectures. A few issues found through the autopkgtest
pseudo excuses for experimental have been fixed. The remaining ones are
due to britney bugs, broken autopkgtest or packages parts of the
transition.

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. Here is the corresponding ben file:

  title = "glibc";
  is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</;
  is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.36\)/;
  is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.35\)/;

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 and
mostly linked to the new math functions introduced for ISO C2x support,
so unlikely to be massively used by default. Therefore overall this
transition should be way simpler than the glibc 2.34 one.

Thanks for considering.

Regards,
Aurelien
