Name : glibc Product : Fedora 11 Version : 2.10.2 Release : 1 URL : http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/ Summary : The GNU libc libraries Description : The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to glibc-2.10.2 release. - Correct readahead syscall wrapper on powerpc32 - Fix preadv, pwritev and fallocate for -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (#533063) - Fix endless loop in localedef - Handle POSIX2_LINE_MAX in getconf - Fix timer_create to initialize timer_t properly - Fix lookup of group names in hesiod initgroups - Fix fsetpos on wide streams - Fix overflow handling in fdim - Recognize ill- formed { } expressions in regcomp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Nov 20 2009 Andreas Schwab <sch...@redhat.com> - 2.10.2-1 - Update to glibc-2.10.2 release. - Correct readahead syscall wrapper on powerpc32 - Fix preadv, pwritev and fallocate for -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (#533063) - Fix endless loop in localedef - Handle POSIX2_LINE_MAX in getconf - Fix timer_create to initialize timer_t properly - Fix lookup of group names in hesiod initgroups - Fix fsetpos on wide streams - Fix overflow handling in fdim - Recognize ill-formed { } expressions in regcomp * Wed Aug 19 2009 Andreas Schwab <sch...@redhat.com> - 2.10.1-5 - Update from release/2.10/master. - handle missing nss module for biarch systems (#512309) * Tue Aug 4 2009 Andreas Schwab <sch...@redhat.com> - 2.10.1-4 - Reenable setuid on pt_chown. * Fri Jul 31 2009 Andreas Schwab <sch...@redhat.com> - 2.10.1-3 - Update from release/2.10/master. - handle missing NSS modules (#513698) - Handle SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, REFUSED replies from DNS server better - Fix handling of xmm6 in ld.so audit hooks on x86-64 - Fix possible race when freeing object in fast bin list - Fix NIS and NIS+ getnetbyaddr backends - Fix getent networks lookup and resulting incorrect NSS change - Fix getnetbyaddr implementation - Fix cfa offset for saved registers in PPC sqrt implementations - Handle empty TZ strings at the end of new-style timzeone files correctly - Add 802.15.4 definitions to header files - Fix incorrect use of cmpldi in 32-bit PPC code - Define week, first_weekday, first_workday in de_AT locale (BZ#10011) - Fix permission of slave device on devpts if necessary - When iterating over CPU bitmask, don't try more than CPU_SETSIZE - Fix memory leak when batch-reading large NIS password maps - Handle leap seconds even if no DST rule exists - Fix errno for IBM long double -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #533063 - preadv()/pwritev() prototypes are broken on i386 with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533063 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
