Some packages in need of an update

Hello Adolf,
hello * (to keep anybody else working on package updates in the loop),

for good measure, I just wanted to let you know that ...

(a) Michael is working on a glibc update, which includes binutils, so please do not
    worry about these, should they already have appeared on your radar.

(b) if you have time and capacity, curl, elfutils and udev are in need of an update.
    As for the latter, its source code can be retrieved from https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/releases/tag/v3.2.11,
    which is more straight-forward than extracting udev from systemd (which is a bit
    of a mess).

    None of these are pressing though, so there is no rush whatsoever. :-)

Thanks to a plethora of non-IPFire commitments I have in the following weeks, I won't
have time to work on package updates, and would rather focus on fixing some bugs that
have been assigned to me quite a while ago. Feel free to coordinate package updates
with the usual suspects (Matthias?), however.

As always, thanks for all the work, and have a nice rest of the weekend!

All the best,
Peter Müller

P.S.: The only exception to my promise above is probably linux-firmware, but I am not
sure if it will fit into Core Update 171, given that this update comes with a new
toolchain and something larger such as Perl, so there probably won't be sufficient space
left.
