Debian Patches

Status for attr/1:2.5.2-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
compat-xattr-header.patch Reintroduce removed xattr.h header for backwards compatibility. There are too many packages still using this header, we cannot just remove
it w/o breaking tons of stuff. Let's create a proper transition.
.
We will later introduce a warning so that programs transition to the header
provided by glibc.
Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> not-needed
gettext-musl.patch Fix cross-compilation on musl-based systems. The gettext implementation in musl does not define some of the internal
symbols that AM_GNU_GETTEXT used to check for. This got fixed in gettext
0.19.8, but the AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION macro requires a specific version
even if the system contains a higher one. We switch to use the new
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION macro which requires at least a specific
version, and bump the AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to the first one that had
support for the new macro.
