Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: transition
Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.27. It is available in experimental for one month, and there is no known regression. It has been built successfully on all release architectures, and most other architectures besides kfreebsd-* which do not have build daemons anymore. The failure on alpha and sparc64 are fixed by patches currently being reviewed by upstream, and that will be included in the next upload. An archive rebuild has been done to find FTBFS caused by this new version. The corresponding bugs have been filled. Most of them have a patch or have been closed. You can find the list there: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=2.27;[email protected] 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: - apitrace - bro - dante - libnih - libnss-db - p11-kit - unscd Here is the corresponding ben file: title = "glibc"; is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</; is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.28\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.27\)/; 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. I guess the most used ones are copy_file_range and memfd_create.
