https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1905710 Bug ID: 1905710 Summary: Review Request: libffi3.1 - Compatibility package for libffi SONAME bump. Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: codonell@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: https://pagure.io/libffi3.1/blob/master/f/libffi3.1.spec SRPM URL: https://pagure.io/libffi3.1 Description: A portable foreign function interface library Fedora Account System Username: codonell This package spec is largely a clone of the existing libffi spec file since we are cloning the libffi package to provide a compatibility package for the upstream SONAME bump. The best user experience is guaranteed with a compatibility package that provides the "libffi.so.6" SONAME, otherwise you can't even init a mock chroot because p11-kit requires libffi.so.6, but the newer libffi-3.4-1 will only provide "libffi.so.8." DJ Delorie and I have been working on this SONAME transistion strategy and we have already tested the following packages: p11-kit python3.9 glib2 gobject-introspection pygobject3 guile22 wayland llvm all built with libffi3.1 and libffi (experimental upgrade to 3.4). Without a libffi3.1 it is not easily possible to upgrade to libffi-3.4-1 (it could be done in a side-tag but the compatibility package offers the best user experience for other binaries that rely on the older SONAME). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
