Re: Pending patches for upcoming Core Update 154

Hello Michael,

thank you for trying to reproduce this.

I am currently building current IPFire 2.x "next" with ccache deleted and will report my findings/ progress here. (binutils 2.36 turns out to break so much stuff that I am currently considering not to send in a patch for it and wait for linux/hyperscan/... to adapt by themselves. Hrmpf.)

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

Hi,

I installed a virtual machine with OpenSuSE Leap and I am past the kernel now with my build.

Could you simply remove the ccache directory from your build environment and run your build again?

It does not seem to be the distribution.

Hello *,

to keep everyone updated: The root cause for this seems to be a quirk somewhere in the vicinity of objtools (part of the binutils):

Alas, this is currently reproducible on OpenSuSE Leap 15.2 machines trying to build an untouched version of IPFire 2.x (both "next" and "master"). :-/

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

Hello development folks,

Man proposes, God disposes... *sigh*

Is anyone aware about current kernel in next being un-compilable or am I bumping into some personal side-effects again?

Unfortunately, ~/devel/ipfire-2.x/log/_build.ipfire.log does not contain further information regarding the problem. Having had some issues with a too old kernel on my workstation, this should now be fine again:

Am I missing something? If yes, could somebody please enlighten my tired brain? :-)

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

Hello *,

to avoid redundancies: I am currently working on Postfix 3.5.9 and (more important) sudo 1.9.5p2 for upcoming Core Update 154. Both fix some security issues; I am pretty sure you have heard of CVE-2021-3156 affecting the latter by now.

There might be some minor stuff (USB/PCI database files, etc.) to do as well, but I have not checked that, yet. :-)

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
