* Wed Aug 18 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm@redhat.com> - 2.7-8
- add %%check section
- update lib64 patch (patch 102) to fix expected output in test_site.py on
64-bit systems
- patch test_commands.py to work with SELinux (patch 124)
- patch the debug build's usage of COUNT_ALLOCS to be less verbose (patch 125)
64-bit (patch 103)
Thu Jul 8 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm@redhat.com> - 2.7-2
- add machinery for regenerating the "configure" script in the face of
mismatching autoconf versions (patch 300)
Tue Jul 6 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm@redhat.com> - 2.7-1
- 2.7 final; drop alphatag
- drop patch 117 (upstream), patch 120 (upstreamed)
- fix the commented-out __python_ver from 26 to 27
- CVE-2010-1634: fix various integer overflow checks in the audioop module
(patch 113)
- CVE-2010-2089: further checks within the audioop module (patch 114)
- CVE-2008-5983: the new PySys_SetArgvEx entry point from r81399 (patch
115)
- replace our patch to compile against db4.8 with a patch from upstream
(patch 53, from r78974); update patch 54 since part of it is now in
that upstream patch
- update patch 110 so that it still applies in the face of upstream r78380
new version by mjw in attachment 390110 of rhbz:545179, as this should
eliminate the performance penalty for the case where the probes aren't
in use, and eliminate all architecture-specific code (rhbz:563541;
except on sparc)
- update some comments in specfile relating to gdb work
- manually byte-compile the gdb.py file with the freshly-built python to
ensure that .pyx and .pyo files make it into the debuginfo manifest if
they are later byte-compiled after find-debuginfo.sh is run
%%{_prefix}/lib/debug/%%{_libdir}/INSTSONAME.debug-gdb.py to avoid
noise from ldconfig (bug 562980), and which should also ensure it
becomes part of the debuginfo subpackage, rather than the libs
subpackage
- introduce %%{py_SOVERSION} and %%{py_INSTSONAME} to reflect the upstream
configure script, and to avoid fragile scripts that try to figure this
out dynamically (e.g. for the -gdb.py change)
- set %%{_python_bytecompile_errors_terminate_build} to 0 to prevent the
broken test files from killing the build on buildroots where python is
installed
- update libs requirement on base package to use %%{name} for consistency's
sake
- convert from backticks to $() syntax throughout
- wrap value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in quotes
- convert "/usr/bin/find" requirement to "findutils"
- remove trailing periods from summaries of -devel and -tools subpackages
- fix spelling mistake in description of -test subpackage
- convert usage of $$RPM_BUILD_ROOT to %%{buildroot} throughout, for
stylistic consistency
- supply dirmode arguments to defattr directives
build of pyexpat and elementtree modules
- add patch adapted from upstream (patch 3) to add support for building
against system expat; add --with-system-expat to "configure" invocation
- remove embedded copy of expat from source tree during "prep"
throughout: %%{pylibdir}, %%{dynload_dir}, %%{site_packages}
- explicitly list all lib-dynload files, rather than dynamically gathering
the payload into a temporary text file, so that we can be sure what we
are shipping; remove now-redundant testing for presence of certain .so
files
- remove embedded copy of zlib from source tree before building
curses configuration in Modules/Setup.dist, so that the curses modules
are built using setup.py with the downstream default (linking against
libncursesw.so, rather than libncurses.so), rather than within the
Makefile; add a test to %%install to verify the dso files that the
curses module is linked against the correct DSO (bug 539917; changes
_cursesmodule.so -> _curses.so)
