The 25 May 2005 teleconference reviewed the status of the LSB 3.0 specification by reviewing the blocker bugs. On the call were: Mats Wichmann, Stew Benedict, Rajesh Banginwar, Thorsten Kukuk, Andrew Josey, Gordon McFadden, Nick Stoughton, Mike Perry, Nilesh Jain, Elena Zannoni Regrets from Stuart Anderson, Marvin Heffler Several bugs were reclassified as "fix later" and removed from the 3.0 block list; a few were reassigned to 3.1; one was noted to actually be a test bug only, not a spec bug. The largest remaining risk area seems to be the elf/dwarf bug area. We'll re-evaluate on Friday. Note that Monday is a holiday in the US; our targeted release date remains Wednesday so we'll use the specauth call for a final go/nogo decision. Bugs marked with an asterisk are believed fixed, awaiting close Reopened Bugs (failed to verify): *104 REOP IP_OPTIONS and IP_TTL *413 REOP Need to prune empy class/liob groups ELF/DWARF Bugs: 769 NEW ELF update - Rollup Bug 93 ASSI lsbappchk reports problem with gcc_except_table section 776 NEW .got.plt section not in LSB 777 NEW .data.rel.ro section not in LSB 846 NEW DWARF Comments #2 857 NEW EH data is still undefined. 890 NEW 'personality routine' is not defined 891 NEW Sizes not specified for all CIE & FDE members. lsb-core Bugs: 772 ASSI dladdr behavior ambiguous (IA64 only) *809 NEW sigcontext/mcontext/ucontext stuff messed (PPC only) *820 NEW The PPC Arch specs don't specify a Processor document (PPC only) 853 NEW Inconsistency on symbol versions for duplicated symbols 898 NEW Do we correctly specify x86_64 (X86_64 only) 899 NEW Missing symbols from libgcc_s 951 NEW libgcc_s incorrect "header" information ** Nick and Mats to close on these (actually, believed complete) subcategory - sysinit chapter: *818 NEW System Initialization chapter: multiple problems *819 NEW init script actions: confusing removal wording *821 NEW sysinit chapter: facility names unclear *823 NEW install_initd should have a query option *832 NEW sysinit: changes in initfuctions section *895 NEW Installation & Removal of init scripts is too complicated ** Nick and Mats to close on these subcategory - lsbinstall: *782 NEW Need new lsbinstall command 795 NEW lsbinstall does not currently meet crieria to be in the LSB *807 NEW lsbinstall - unclear definition and uninstall features *830 NEW package rules require manual intervention *858 NEW lsbinstall need to handle man pages also 885 NEW lsbinstall font support 886 NEW lsbinstall menu needs to info
