Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2019-8a43421994
2019-04-06 20:18:27.034102
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 30
Version : 2.29
Release : 9.fc30
URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/
Summary : The GNU libc libraries
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

This glibc update adds support for the new Japanese era, Reiwa, which will begin
on May 1st. It also includes several other upstream bugfixes via upstream sync:
* Fix output of LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 * regex: fix read overrun [BZ #24114] * Record
