The current FC4 glibc (glibc-2.3.6-3) was released on March 27 and has
a regression failure that prevents NIS+ clients from working. An updated
version (glibc-2.3.6-4) has been in updates-testing since May 9 that fixes
this problem. It is now July 28.  When will FC4 updates be updated?

Thanks.

You probably need to report the bug through bugzilla to let the developer know that the updates-testing works and the one in updates regular does not work. FC4 is in the last days of support and will be a Fedora legacy product shortly. Time is running out.

We opened this as,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188761
which was closed as a duplicate of the FC5 bug report,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186592
which is also closed with resoltuion "RAWHIDE".

My question is when will it move from RAWHIDE to an official FC4 update?
Is there some other problem with the test-update RPM preventing it from
being released?

Thanks.

I added a comment to the new bug. I'm not clear as to whether the new glibc will make it into updates or not before the transition. Bugzilla does not make sense to me for some problem solutions. Fixed in rawhide should only be for those tracking development. If there is a fix that should make it to the release, it should be pushed to updates-testing. If the fix fixes the problem and does not break any other thing in updates-testing, it should be pushed to updates.

So is FC4 and FC5 both broken regarding NIS? Maybe both should get a fix applied other than rawhide.
