backwards incompatible update of oniguruma in EPEL 7
by Carl George 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Greetings, Per the EPEL incompatible upgrades policy [0], this is an announcement of a backwards incompatible update [1] of oniguruma in EPEL 7. This change was approved by the EPEL steering committee [2]. This update is required to resolve some outstanding CVEs [3]. I've updated it to the same version that is in RHEL 8 to simplify future maintenance. This update changes the library soname from libonig.so.2 to libonig.so.5. The only software in EPEL 7 affected by this change is jq, which has been rebuilt against the new soname [4] and will be released at the same time. Any software not in EPEL 7 that links against this library will also have to be rebuilt. Please test this update and provide karma if you're able. Thanks!
