Does anyone object to a freeze date of January 9th, this friday?
Please see the release page for more details:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.21
Desired blockers should be up and on that page, and I'll be
reviewing them shortly.
I have a fix for the TZ crasher (bug 17715). I would like to get the
full fix into 2.21, but it's not really a blocker because I probably
have to split it into a minimal fix for backporting, plus a separate
patch with additional hardening anyway. (The minimal patch being
acceptable even post-freeze.)
I hope to submit the patch ASAP, but I'm not sure I can make it this
week, and it might be somewhat controversial.
