 tylerjl | Hey, I'm not a committer but trying to assist where able
I'm looking at some CVEs for binutils 2.44 and since the patches are only in 2.45/unstable I was going to backport them to 2.44. I assume I should base on staging since (I'm assuming) the package is likely a dependency across a pretty wide blast radius?
| 15:49:25 |
 K900 | Yes | 15:50:20 |
| K900 | But also we might just land 2.45? | 15:50:27 |
| K900 | I don't know what the plan for that is | 15:50:35 |
| K900 | @Fabián Heredia? | 15:50:42 |
| tylerjl | My understanding was that it follows the "odd versions are implicitly unstable" but that'd work too | 15:51:39 |
| tylerjl | I mis-remembered, it's that they aren't shipping with gold in 2.45 | 15:54:52 |
| K900 | Can we just drop gold | 15:55:19 |
| K900 | No one fucking cares about gold | 15:55:22 |
| K900 | I promise | 15:55:26 |
| tylerjl | lol that question is definitely above my pay grade | 15:55:41 |
| K900 | I guess we have to do it after 25.11 now | 15:55:55 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | gods please | 15:56:30 |
 dramforever | gold please | 16:06:38 |
| tylerjl | the diffs look trivial so I'll backport to avoid anything backwards-incompat for now | 16:09:08 |
 leona | that would be good in any case, as 25.05 also has binutils 2.44 | 16:10:29 |
 Vladimír Čunát | binutils is a "release critical" package. So upgrade to 2.45 might be a bit late, even if the schedule got an extension by a week now. | 16:11:33 |
 rosssmyth | It's deprecated anyways because no one cares about it. Just drop it | 16:18:48 |
 Alyssa Ross | doesn't some haskell stuff use it? | 16:19:32 |
| Alyssa Ross | (not that dropping it isn't inevitable) | 16:19:52 |
| rosssmyth | Quick rg shows that mongodb 7.0, swift, and nix mention it | 16:22:50 |

| K900 | Next to staging merges are failing | 18:07:52 |
| K900 | Possibly again | 18:07:56 |
| K900 | Someone please get it | 18:07:58 |
| dramforever | there are literally no conflicts | 19:41:28 |
