= System Wide Change:Removal of Sun RPC Interfaces From glibc = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SunRPCRemoval Change owner(s): * Florian Weimer fweimer AT redhat DOT com> This system-wide change covers the removal of interfaces related to Sun RPC from glibc. == Detailed Description == glibc bundles an implementation of Sun RPC (including XDR support, on which Sun RPC is based). This implementation is not compatible with IPv6, and due to the way addresses are represented, adding IPv6 support would need an ABI bump. As a result, upstream decided to move Sun RPC support to a separate library, libtrpc, which has been packaged since Fedora 7. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Remove the interfaces from glibc and adjust the glibc packaging to remove the nss_nis subpackage. * Other developers: Packages which still use the built-in Sun RPC support need to switch to libtirpc. NIS packages need to switch to the separate libnsl package. * Release engineering: #7239: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7239 * List of deliverables: Not affected * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change; covered by the existing Packaging Guidelines) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- 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 To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
