Status of Fedora 27 glibc
We have received guidance (from Fesco, I believe) that we should not
attempt to push any non-approved changes into Fedora 27. We have one
pending update with a minimal ld.so fix which was accepted as a freeze
exception:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/glibc-2.26-16.fc27
I think the best course of action for us is to avoid any updates to the
f27 branch in dist-git for now, until the Fedora 27 release. After the
release, we should immediately drop glibc-rh1506802.patch, sync with the
upstream release branch (which includes this patch), and pick up the
glob64 API fix we are currently missing.
Thanks,
Florian
