Description Jens Petersen 2023-04-03 03:58:41 UTC

Description of problem:
gettext includes its own hostname helper program
(presumably for systems that do not provide the hostname tool)
which uses deprecated gethostbyname() function...

If /usr/bin/hostname is a drop in replacement then it seems
better just to use that in place of it - this would avoid
the rpminspect warnings/errors about gethostbyname() usage.

Comment 1 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-04-19 12:03:41 UTC

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 07:12:57 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 3 Manish Tiwari 2024-03-12 06:32:25 UTC

This is no longer used in current version of gettext, getaddrinfo() is the preferred function for hostname resolution.

Comment 4 Manish Tiwari 2024-03-14 09:03:30 UTC

Similar issue fixed in upstream gettext: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63983

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2024-03-21 12:15:23 UTC

I still think it would be useful to change that centos-stream rpminspect doesn't complain any more about the network functions, just to be sure.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2024-03-21 12:15:58 UTC

Sorry, s/change/check/

Comment 7 Parag Nemade 2024-07-08 04:14:48 UTC

I don't see anything remained here to be fixed. The centos-stream MR already reported and waiting for its maintainers to merge it.
