Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.28. It is available in experimental for almost 3 weeks and there is no known issue or regression. It's also the version shipped in Ubuntu 18.10. It has been built successfully on all release architectures. It fails to builds on a few non-release architectures, but only due to a few testsuite issues that needs to be investigated and which do not looks really worrying. 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.]* \(<< 2.29\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.28\)/; 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. Most of those symbols are related to C11 thread or narrowing math functions from TS 18661-1. I doubt they are used in a lot of packages yet. Thanks for considering. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
