Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 2024/02/29

Project Discussion Foundations
21

= General =

  • 64-bit time_t work
    • hundreds of packages NMUed into Debian unstable
    • started no-change rebuilds in Ubuntu of reverse dependencies of libtirpc3, libpng16-16 to try to move forward some of the uninstallable/unbuildable chains in noble-proposed
    • bootstrap build of cairo with various build-dependencies dropped to avoid several build-dependency loops; flagged this to jbicha for follow-up since the same will be needed in Debian
    • discussed https://bugs.debian.org/1065017 in Debian and concluded that libpam0g must not change package name due to its transitively essential status in the face of usrmerge transition, so we are reverting and will work out at leisure a solution for the ABI breakage of the two affected library entry points that to our knowledge no package in Debian has ever used
    • ongoing discussion with libselinux upstream https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/Zdrh%2FeuXdvdWlVSp@homer.dodds.net/T/#m1d767f13e043e662555f6b8d8ddbffe033435d33
