By the way, I just created a sr for another glibc update that might induce some build failures - in glibc-2.8, namespace pollution of many header files was fixed and many definitions are now guarded by USE_GNU etc.; at that time, this introduced too many build failures so we reverted this change for the time being, but by now, I think most applications should have been fixed.
I still would like to see a "porting guide" for the applications failing to build. Many of our packages do not see updates so often that a new glibc has any impact upstream. I see errors like this (random picks): error: 'struct hostent' has no member named 'h_addr' sys/syslog.h:88: error: 'NULL' undeclared here (not in a function) error: 'INT_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
