GLIBC_2.24 compatibility hack removal (rhbz#1344830)
by Florian Weimer
Hi,
I have pinged package maintainers about rawhide uploads for the
remaining users, namely:

This is for the primary architectures. Once those are done, I will
double-check the secondary architectures to see if they have any
architecture-specific packages which still need rebuilds.

libcrypt without NSS dependency goal
by Florian Weimer
For Fedora 25, we have a goal to provide libcrypt without the NSS
dependency. It turns out I cannot easily build libcrypt twice and
install it into different, conflicting subpackages because RPM does not
support that. See rhbz#1358776 for details.
So what do we want to do with this goal? Drop it? Or rely on ldconfig
running from %post to create the necessary symbolic links, and ship the
file under different names?
Thanks,

Split NSS modules implemented (rhbz#1338889)
by Florian Weimer
I have just pushed glibc-2.23.90-29.fc25, which splits out NSS modules
into nss_db, nss_nis (for nis, nisplus, compat) and nss_hesiod. There
is also a glibc-nss-devel package which contains the .so symbolic links.
My testing looks good so far; more testing welcome.
Thanks,

tunables for rawhide
by Siddhesh Poyarekar
Hi,
I've posted another iteration of patches for tunables on
libc-alpha[1][2][3]. Florian, I have implemented your suggestion of
storing them as their target data type instead of strings and also now
implemented them as a dynamic linker feature so that they can be used
as early as IFUNC selection. This also means that the dynamic linker
environment variables can also be built into the tunables.
Would one of you be able to review them and let me know if 1/2 is
suitable for rawhide? We can then try to move forward the discussion
for 2/2.
There seem to be a growing number of people interested in tunables, so
I'm trying to do this on a priority now. I realized it a bit too late
for 2.24, but I think this can be backported too since there is no ABI
impact.
Thanks,
Siddhesh

Pretty-printer tests fail on rawhide
by Florian Weimer
The new pretty-printer tests fail on rawhide.
The test framework has various problems (output not captured in .out
files, GDB startup scripts not disabled).
The cause of the test failure seems to be that the pretty printers are
not registered at all:
(gdb) gdb-test% info pretty-printer
global pretty-printers:
builtin
mpx_bound128
I'll get to this eventually, but if anyone has an idea how to fix this,
I welcome suggestions.
Thanks,

[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?
