Reverts all deprecations back to glib-2.22
I'm OK with this patch.
However, two things should happen for all client programs using glib2: 1) Stop using -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104372#c6 2) Ensure they *do* use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration. Every C program should opt out of the completely braindead legacy default behavior. Note bug 1104372 comment 6 is a rhel7 bug, this is a rhel6 bug. I agree with 1) though, within reason. What I mean is, we can't fix customer programs, and we can't easily fix programs that aren't on the approved components list (since we don't have QA resources to test them). In this case, the only known offender is devhelp, which has been fixed independently. As for 2, I agree with that, too, though, from a rhel perspective, it should probably be added to the default CFLAGS. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2014-1538.html |
