I tried to backport them, but beside the mentioned merge request I need a number of other patches which feels like creating a zombie. Due to the complexity I cannot prove whether the result is valid. > - add a newer glib version to the meta-ltx-mixins layer. Would this help other users of Scarthgap? I thought that the mixin layers are intended to bring new features to a stable layer. But in this case there is a serious bug (race condition in the memory management routines) of a major piece of software. Every multi threaded application based on Glib is potentially affected. On my system it's NetworkManager, but I also read about Firefox. I've already cherry picked the Styhead updates into my private repo, but I feel this should also be updated in the LTS tree somehow. regards, Christian > > Alex > > On Fri, 8 Nov 2024 at 11:43, Christian Eggers via lists.openembedded.org _______________________________________________________ Christian Eggers Software Engineer ARRI Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co.
