Description Davide Cavalca 2022-02-09 21:58:20 UTC
Please branch and build uClibc in epel8 and epel9.

If you do not wish to maintain uClibc in epel8 and epel9,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
the EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package;
please add the epel-packagers-sig group through
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/uClibc/addgroup
and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches.

Comment 1 Davide Cavalca 2022-02-17 17:37:03 UTC
Will you be able to branch and build uClibc in epel8 and epel9?
The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer
if you do not wish to build it on epel8 and epel9.

Comment 2 Nikola Forró 2022-02-20 05:24:34 UTC
Ok, I've requested the branches. But my question is, what do you need uClibc for?

Comment 3 Davide Cavalca 2022-02-20 18:03:02 UTC
Thanks! I need it to be able to build busybox (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052738)

Fair enough. The thing is, uClibc has been long dead upstream, so obviously there haven't been any new releases or fixes for a long time.
There is uClibc-ng, an actively developed fork, however busybox maintainer wasn't happy with switching to it, but perhaps it's time to finally do it.
