dracut-ng fix for glibc 2.44 fts regression — LoongArch build

[Vincent Li]

Hi Michael,

Sorry, I deleted the email about the potential glibc 2.44 regression 
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34861, so I'm 
starting a new thread.

From https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34078, I confirmed 
that my LoongArch build environment needs the fix from 
https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/pull/2394 to work around the glibc 
2.44 issue. dracut-ng 112 already includes the fix.

Do you think it's a good idea to carry the dracut-ng fix in the IPFire 
build for LoongArch, even though the IPFire build environment doesn't 
currently experience this issue?

Best,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,

I think the best thing is to implement the updated dracut. I had missed the updates of this package and I note that dracut-ng-112 includes security fixes.

So I will issue an update for it and also add it to my nvchecker list so I get informed when new versions are issued.

Regards,

Adolf.

Thanks Adolf, that is good idea.
