Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Dear release team, We would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.23. It is currently available in experimental and has been built successfully on all official architectures except hurd-i386. We have fixed the hurd-i386 failure in out git, and we are working on build failures for alpha, hppa and sparc64. There are due to testsuite issue, mostly in the math parts and do not look very critical. It should be noted that this upload will make a few packages to FTBFS, mostly due to more precise checking in the floating-point classification macros (isnan, isinf, ...). In most of the cases the changes just make existing bugs visible. The list of affected packages is available [1] (thanks to Martin Michlmayr), and the bugs have been opened for more than 3 months. 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 - unscd Here is the corresponding ben file: title = "glibc"; is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</; is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.24\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.23\)/; In addition to that, a few new symbols have been added that might prevent a few other packages to transition to testing if they pick up the new symbols, namely the fts64_* and the lgamma* ones. It should not concerns many packages.
