[PATCH] Update the i18n, UTF-8 and translit_* files to Unicode 9.0.0
by Mike FABIAN
Unicode 9.0.0 has been released recently (2016-06-21).
Here is a patch to update the i18n, tr_TR, UTF-8, and the translit_*
files to Unicode 9.0.0.
I have sent this patch to the libc-alpha mailing list already (against
current master of glibc).
This patch here is against our current F24 package.
Is it OK to push this to F24 and apply it to master?

recvmsg@GLIBC_2.24 removal
by Florian Weimer
In case the revert
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00339.html>
proceeds upstream, I am going to turn recvmsg(a)GLIBC_2.24 and the related
symbols into a compat symbol, and move the default back to the previous
version. This should keep existing binaries working, while new binaries
will pick up the previous symbol version.
After a while, I'll use symboldb <https://pagure.io/symboldb> to check
if there are still any RPMs
So in short, we have a plan to implement the revert even without a mass
rebuild. You don't have to oppose the revert for Fedora's sake. :)

Fedora 25 proposals
by Florian Weimer
Here is a list of things I would like to propose for Fedora 25:
Split all NSS modules into separate packages, except nss_files and
nss_dns. This will make it eventually possible to deprecate nss_hesiod,
and build nss_nis and nss_nisplus against libtirpc instead of the
built-in RPC library.
Remove dns from the networks service in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Hardly
anyone needs it, and the implementation is quite broken anyway. It just
increases attack surface needlessly.
Build rawhide *and* the f25 branch with assertions enabled.
Use a single statically linked binary for sln and ldconfig.
