Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I have updated the libgc package to upstream version 7.6.8. Attached
is the necessary patch.
Upstream suggested that this would be a good idea for debian in issue
https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/241
so I gave it a go and it is straightforward. Only issue was symbol
fix, discussed in https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/243
I leave it up to you whether you agree that this would be the right
thing to do for buster, but if so I hope this report is useful.
Just do
wget https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/releases/download/v7.6.8/gc-7.6.8.tar.gz
cd libgc-7.6.4
uupdate ../gc-7.6.8.tar.gz
cd ../libgc-7.6.8
and apply attached patch
to get the new package.
(If you do do a new upload adding the symbol fix for arm64ilp32 would be
appreciated too):
