Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 755728
Rebase elfutils to 0.158 in RHEL 6.6
Last modified: 2014-10-14 02:42:21 EDT
The version that we currently ship is elfutils-0.152. The version 0.153 is not released yet, but the last release was in February, and new release is due, and should appear soon. Updated release would bring support of reading of compressed sections, ability to work with new Dwarf attributes, and (partial) support of .debug_types. In addition to that, it brings many bug fixes, and updates to keep abreast with development in tools. It would also better support "dwarves" (bug 620319). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): elfutils-0.152
elfutils 0.153 was finally released upstream: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-February/002231.html And already packaged for fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/elfutils
Now that 0.154 has been released a rebase to that version would be even better. https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-June/002336.html
