There is a little more to it: percona-xtrabackup also comes with mysql (because it is basically running a copy of it's own mysql/innodb to do it's job - just like the other comparable versions around). And this mysql is what is "bound" to that boost version. xtrabackup just inherits this bundling. If you look at the percona-xtrabackup versioning you'll see that the current upstream release is: * percona-xtrabackup-8.0.29-22 and that refers to it's bundling of mysql 8.0.29 > >Non-responsive maintainer policy [2].

The other CVEs are for EPEL builds - while I am in theory interested in fixing epel as well I won't touch it until the fedora branch is in a better state. > Miro started the non-responsive maintainer process and woke up the > maintainer, but they themselves are also thinking it might be better > to kick it out of fedora. > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1989019 Yes - the build process is cumbersome and it is a bad fit for fedora on that alone. Yet for me it still scratches an itch and being able to do a 'dnf install percona-xtrabackup' is still useful. -- sven _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
