Description Alex Chernyakhovsky 2012-06-21 22:01:06 UTC

glibc fixed a bug in 2010 in which htons() would give a conversion warning when compiled with -Wconversion due to the implementation of the byte-swapping functions. Unfortunately, this fix was only for x86/x86_64 platforms. The fix has now been updated to include the generic byteswap functions.

Please apply this patch to the glibc in Fedora.

Again, sorry, for the duplicate, RHBZ was acting up.
