Dear release team, I would like to get a transition slot for glibc 2.40. It has been available in experimental for one month already. It has been built successfully on all release architectures and most ports architectures. The experimental pseudo-excuses look good overall, and there is no known issue. 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. Here is the corresponding ben file: title = "glibc"; is_affected = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<</; is_good = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.41\)/; is_bad = .depends ~ /libc[0-9.]* \(<< 2.40\)/; In addition a few symbols got added to libm in this version to add support for the exp2m1*, exp10m1*, log2p1*, log10p1*, logp1* ISO C23 functions. They are unlikely to be used at this point, so this should not block package migration to testing during the transition. Overall this glibc transition looks easier than some of the previous ones. Thanks for considering. Regards, Aurelien
