Description solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-05 21:34:08 UTC 
I want to flush out the pax-utils ebuilds older than 0.1.9 There have
been a number of bug fixes from the last major round of stable markings.

I'll give vapier first whack at this bug as he single handily owns
nearly every arch and is the coauthor of utils.

portage-2.0.55 is targeted for the tree about next week. portage depends 
on the pax-utils for misc ELF handling. There have been new features
added to the pax-utils which portage could take advantage of like auto
fixing bad RPATH's, multilib-strict checking, scanning of archives. I'm
filing this bug to begin the process of calling for testing. I'm not
asking you to mark it stable till you are comfortable.

But the main reason for marking a newer version stable is that about 36 
hours of fuzz checking was done on the scanelf util in an effort to make
it more robust in handling improper, malformed ELF executables. So
overall it should be more stable that the current stable.

Closing bug as FIXED.
