W: ext4magic voidreturn ext4magic.c:888 I: Program is using implicit definitions of functions getting pointers or implemented by macros. These functions need to use their correct prototypes to allow correct argument passing on e.g. x86_64 . - Implicit memory/string functions need #include <string.h>. - Implicit *printf functions need #include <stdio.h>. - Implicit *printf functions need #include <stdio.h>. - Implicit *read* functions need #include <unistd.h>. - Implicit *recv* functions need #include <sys/socket.h>. W: ext4magic implicit-pointer-decl journal.c:754 ===== I think just the E: errors are mandatory to fix for OBS to publish the package, but I'm not sure about that. Roberto, if you think you'll come out with a cleaner build in the next couple weeks, I won't bother to patch up those errors.
