Just to loop back on this...this wound up causing a release blocker bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099 mclasen, mcatanzaro and I investigated it and eventually worked out that it is indeed caused by a bug in meson 0.50.0: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268 the offending meson change was actually later reverted for other reasons. I have now backported the reversion to the Fedora meson packages and am rebuilding everything that was built with meson 0.50.0 (it's likely that at least some of the rebuilds aren't strictly necessary, but it's easier to rebuild everything than try to figure out which packages did and didn't wind up with execstack marked bits). Note meson 0.50.0 wound up in the buildroots for F29 and F30 as well as Rawhide, so there are rebuilds for all three going through. Once I've rebuilt everything (there are quite a lot of things) I'll figure out a strategy for sending out updates. Thanks for spotting this earlier, wish we'd worked out the cause at the time, it would've saved some pain! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
