Description of problem: Due to recent changes in the implementation of realpath() the information provided in the man page regarding the "GNU extensions" is no longer applicable. I would expect that subsection to be removed accordingly. Link to the aforementioned changes: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28815 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Only rawhide.
I overlooked the GNU extension when I pushed the fix for upstream 28815. I need to discuss this upstream and decide whether it makes more sense to drop the extension or to revert this patch.
This has been fixed upstream by fixing realpath to respect the GNU extension. The next rawhide rebase should resolve this.
Can you provide an estimate of when the rebase will happen?
We usually do it weekly but it looks like we missed the last couple of weeks. Reassigning to Carlos so that he can assign it to whoever's doing the next rebase.
Florian is running the sync this week. We've had several people out for various reasons and had to delay the sync.
I tested glibc-2.35.9000-12 and the problem is fixed there. Thanks for you hard work!
