Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.34. It has been available in experimental for a few months, and does not have any known major issue. It has been built successfully on all release architectures and many ports architectures. This transition is a bit more complex than the previous ones, as this version merges a few libraries (libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl) into libc. This handled transparently at runtime. This is also supposed to be handled transparently at link time by providing empty static archives for libpthread.a, libdl.a, libutil.a, libanl.a. That said it appears that the path to libpthread.so and libdl.so is encoded in a few cmake files). Breaks against the affected -dev packages have been added, and they will need to be binNMUed. Here is the list: assimp deal.ii dolfin eckit fclib fltk1.3 insighttoolkit4 insighttoolkit5 ismrmrd libminc log4cplus mathgl mimalloc mongo-c-driver mrpt netcdf netcdf-parallel ns3 openms trilinos visp votca vtk6 vtk7 In addition some symbols from libresolv symbols also got moved to libc, and their __ prefix dropped at the same time. While there compatibility symbols for dynamic linking, it it not the case for static linking. Static libraries with reference to those symbols needs to be binNMUed. Breaks against the affected -dev packages have been added, and they will need to be binNMUed. Here is the list: boinc cups dante glib2.0 gloox haskell-resolv heimdal hesiod libasyncns libaws libdkim libinfinity libpg-query libre libspf2 libstrophe linux-atm loudmouth mongo-c-driver mysql-8.0 ncbi-igblast nfs-utils ola openafs opendkim opendmarc openldap open-vm-tools openzwave pidgin-librvp proftpd-dfsg shishi slurm-wlm taningia A few issues found through the autopkgtest pseudo excuses for experimental have been fixed. Most of the remaining are either due to the added breaks (see above), britney bugs or packages parts of the transition. There are a few remaining though, but at this stage it's probably better to move forward and get them fixed later, otherwise new ones keep appearing. Here is the list: castle-game-engine: #1016556 dash: #1016554 fpc: #1016556 scalpel: #1016560 securefs: #993515 wmanager: #1016540 wcc: #1014729 (A binNMU fixes the issue, but not sure why) A tracker is already setup at: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/glibc-2.34.html Thanks for considering.
