Comment 1 Aoife Moloney 2025-01-24 14:35:19 UTC

Hi Carlos, how goes this change for F42? The testable deadline is coming up in about two weeks, on Feb 4th, and changes need to be in good shape at this point https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_policy/#_change_process_milestones for Beta.

Please let me know if you need to defer this to F43, otherwise if youre good to go for the change to be ready to meet the testable requirements, please update the status of the tracker bug to MODIFIED.


Thanks!
Aoife

Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2025-02-20 14:39:09 UTC

The core of this change is 100% complete, in that we have a new enough glibc, a gcc 15.0, and binutils 2.44.

However, we just missed the update to the final glibc before the freeze. This was my fault for missing the deadline.

Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-02-20 14:43:51 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 42-beta by Fedora user codonell using the blocker tracking app because:

 We should release Fedora 42 with the final released version of glibc 2.41 to ensure that we have a GA with an ABI that is supported by the upstream glibc community.

Currently we have a pre-release in Fedora 42 which has no ABI differences from the final glibc 2.41. The fact that we missed the freeze is my fault and scheduling mistake. The errata is up and here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-313212032a

We could fix this issue post-release, but I'm raising it here to consider the inclusion since it has impact on early reported defects when Fedora 42 goes GA. Any reports from Fedora using a pre-release glibc might be rejected by upstream as not using a stable released version.

Discussed on 2025-02-24 in a blocker review meeting [1]:

!agreed 2337588 - AcceptedBetaFE - We think it's beneficial to include this in the Beta release for wide user testing.
