GLIBC_2.25 - > GLIBC_2.25_unreleased_$num It would solve the problem because packages would either require GLIBC_2.25_unreleased_1 or GLIBC_2.25_unreleased_2. In the first case, they would need to be rebuild against the latest glibc. And people could not hit such bugs as 1409557 or 1409590. But I can see that neither Florian nor you like such idea. Therefore it would be very good to at least rebuild images(docker, cloud, maybe module in future) after adding adding new symbols to glibc in rawhide. I wrote in different mail that it does not happen very often (3 times in 26 minir releases so far for fedora 26) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
