This is a serious violation of glibc's stated promise of infinite backwards compatibility. How in the world did this slip through? Can we use our gating system to kick back builds that are obviously broken that even the package manager stops working? Also, I'm surprised that reinstating symbols needs any discussion at all. The removals obviously have to be reverted, per their own infinite backwards compatibility promise. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ 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
