Dear release team, We would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.21. It is currently available in experimental and has been built successfully on all release architectures. We have fixed the hppa and mips64el build failure in the, SVN, so the next upload should really build everywhere. As the 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: - bro - dante - libnih - libnss-db - unscd Here is the corresponding ben file: title = "glibc"; is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</; is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.22\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.20\)/; In addition to that, a few new symbols have been added that might prevent a few other packages to transition to testing if they pick up the new symbols. However the new symbols are quite limited this time, so it's unlikely to happen if the transition is done relatively quickly. Thanks, Aurelien -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
