= Proposed System Wide Change: The GNU C Library version 2.23 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GLIBC223 Change owner(s): * Carlos O'Donell <carlos AT redhat DOT com> Switch glibc in Fedora 24 to glibc version 2.23. == Detailed Description == The GNU C Library version 2.23 will be released at the end of February 2016; we have started closely tracking the glibc 2.23 development code in Fedora Rawhide and are addressing any issues as they arise. Given the present schedule Fedora 24 will branch before GLIBC 2.23. Fedora 24 will be rebased on the stable GLIBC 2.23 release. == Scope == Proposal owners: * Update glibc to 2.23 from tested upstream release. Other developers: * Aside from Carlos O'Donell <carlos AT redhat DOT com>, Florian Weimer <fweimer AT redhat DOT com>, Torvald Riegel <triegel AT redhat DOT com>, Martin Sebor <msebor AT redhat DOT com>, and Patsy Franklin <pfrankli AT redhat DOT com>, no other developers are required. These developers need to ensure that rawhide is stable and ready for the Fedora 24 branch. Given that glibc is backwards compatible and we have been testing the new glibc in rawhide it should make very little impact when updated. Release engineering: * In general coordination with release engineering is not required. A mass rebuild is not required. Policies and guidelines: * The policies and guidelines do not need to be updated. -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
