Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.29. It is available in experimental for a bit more than 2 weeks and there is no known issue or regression. It has been built successfully on all release architectures and most ports architectures. It fails to build on alpha, ia64 and sparc64 due to a few testsuite issues that are being investigated or need to be investigated and which do not looks really worrying. It doesn't build on kfreebsd-*, but this has been the case for a few glibc releases already. As 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 (some packages only on some architectures): - apitrace - bro - dante - gcc-9 - gcc-snapshot - glibc - libnih - libnss-db - unscd Ben file: Here is the corresponding ben file: title = "glibc"; is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</; is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.30\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.29\)/; 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. Those are posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np, posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np, getcpu, exp, exp2, log, log2 and pow. The math functions are probably used by quite a few packages. Thanks for considering. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
