Hi! I did some quick'n'dirty statistics of how many ELF files successfully gained a .package.note section. packages: 28742, see [1] for the list (*) ELF files: 72464, see [2] ELF files with .package.note: 47939, see [3] ELF files without: 24525, see [4] It turns out that many of those are special files. I filtered out '\.(mod|o|h|cmxs|go|syso|c32|fas|wcx|wdx|dsx|wlx|wfx|out|dyn.*none)$' (**). Most of those seem irrelevant, in particular .o hasn't been linked, so it can't have the notes section… ELF files after filtering: 15723, see [5] packages for those filtered files: 4659, see [6] I did some quick analysis, and the reasons why the notes section is missing differ: - 460 packages don't have the .fc36 tag, so they weren't rebuilt - some packages I checked were built before the mass rebuild and got the .fc36 disttag, but failed in the subsequent mass rebuild - opt-outs: 895 ghc packages 210+ ocaml packages 197 R packages 30 ruby packages 61 python packages That still leaves quite a lot of packages without the notes, but I think more manual analysis would be necessary to figure out the reasons. Coverage: packages: 1 - 4659/28742: 84% (***) ELF files, excl. irrelevant: 47939 / (47939 + 15723): 75% ELF files under /usr/lib64/: 1-8114/(8114+30320): 79% ELF files under /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/: 1-5769/(5769+16321): 74% I think this gives pretty good coverage, esp. for libraries, but more remains.

(**) .h is because I did some earlier grep wrong, so some ELFheader.h was included in the list :( (***) an applies-to-orangies comparison, because there are many noarch packages in the total number.
