1 Hi all,
2
3 in the next days I'll likely re-add keywords to glibc-2.26. So, if you haven't
4 fixed your package for build failures yet, now would be the time.
5
6 The tracker is https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=glibc-2.26 with
7 appropriate subtrackers.
8
9 1) Your package needs RPC (and already now fails to build with sys-libs/
10 glibc[-rpc]).
11
12 See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/RPC_implementation for a
13 detailed guide.
14
15 2) Your package uses NIS/YP functionality, and builds against / links to
16 libnsl.
17
18 Add a dependeny (DEPEND and RDEPEND):
19 net-libs/libnsl:0=
20
21 You can already safely do this now ( =net-libs/libnsl-0 is a dummy, stable on
22 all arches, installs no files, depends on <sys-libs/glibc-2.26 ), and as an
23 additional bonus will get the subslot rebuild automagically once libnsl is
24 updated.
25
26 (The unbundled libnsl has increased soversion, libnsl.so.2. glibc will keep
27 installing libnsl.so.1 as compatibility library for binary packages, but
28 without headers etc.)
29
30 3) Your package needs internal data structures and fails with undefined types.
31
32 Ping me. Most likely problem and fix are already known.
33
34 Cheers,
35 Andreas
