Fedora Project

  • Updated libxml in Rawhide to fix a problem where open() was called with O_CREAT and no third (mode) argument, which effectively results in the file permissions being set randomly; recent glibc versions, as found in Rawhide, can detect this error when used with a suitable FORTIFY_SOURCE value. Whilst I was at it, I fixed the license tag to reflect the dual W3C/LGPL licensing

Local Packages

  • Updated the RHEL4/5 libxml packages as per the Fedora version
