This does not seem to be complete. glibc has been changed, but gcc (libstdc++) has not. I didn't check the 'optional' packages yet. Leaving as ASSIGNED. This Change is now at-risk for F39, as we are well past the point where it should have been complete.

Hi Adam,

The gcc PR was merged after the rawhide(F40) split. I'm working on a new F39 PR now.
I apologize for the delay.

Changes for gcc and glibc have been added see:
gcc: gcc-13.2.1-2.fc39
glibc: glibc-2.37.9000-20.fc39

Comment 4 Patsy Griffin 2023-09-11 21:36:55 UTC

FYI: There was an issue building Modula2 using the newest gcc https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111330
This is not related to the tzdata data changes.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2023-09-21 18:21:06 UTC

FESCo considers this "done" per today's meeting - https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2023-09-21 - so marking as ON_QA.

Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2023-09-22 14:23:27 UTC

Patsy,

what about python? Is there any chance that python-libs/pytz/dateutil
can relax the requirement for tzdata?

Comment 7 Patsy Griffin 2023-09-26 17:25:02 UTC

Hi Zbigniew,

The current proposal as worded lists python as beneficial to be changed.
Various component owners and the python team can make the changes at their convenience.

Thanks,
Patsy

F39 was released on November 7th, so I am closing this tracker. If this Change was not completed, please notify me ASAP.
