I attempted to run some games I had running on f25 fine, they failed to start due to not finding their libraries, I asked the vendors and they pointed me at this glibc commit. Can we get this included in F27. https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=45ff34638f034877b6a490c217d6a0632ce263f4 Thanks, Dave.
This doesn't sound like it violates any of the criteria, so I'm -1 blocker unless more information arises. We could consider it for a freeze exception, but poking glibc late in release cycles is a bit scary. What would be the benefit to getting it in the release as opposed to a 0-day update? For people playing Steam games from live images? Is that commonly done?
DJ, Would you be able to look into this and verify the suggested fix?
-1 Blocker, +1 FE. I think the main risk with a zero-day is a bad impression for people who install and try to run games or other impacted without doing an update first. I don't think that's enough to block the release on, but assuming glibc team is good with the fix and we can get it in early enough that we're not needing last-minute hero-testing, it'd be nice.
Discussed during the 2017-10-30 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as a RejectedBlocker and an AcceptedFreezeException was made as this bug doesn't violate any blocker criteria, but is bad enough to warrant a fix for release.
