In general, I'm happy with this list. However, I have a couple of requests: I work as a maintainer for rpm for Unity Linux (an rpm based distro using musl libc), I'd like to see the following commits added to 4.13-rc2 to support it properly (oldest first): 4f7c802 Set up portable definitions to support μClibc and MUSL ff3e57c Fix fstat64 conditional and definition typo These have been used in Unity Linux's rpm for almost a year as a squashed patch: https://gitlab.com/unity-linux-pkgs-core/rpm/blob/master/rpm-4.14.x-portable-definitions.patch I'd also like to see the following commits added in general, because it fixes issues with building rpm that I've discovered over time (oldest first): aa4c0d4 digest_beecrypt: Use correct header locations c67aece Properly support BeeCrypt option in build system 3ad7495 Fix pkgconfig reference to Lua in Libs.private I don't think the above commits would be too difficult to include into 4.13.0-rc2. -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
