Description Michael Moon 2022-08-06 18:27:53 UTC
Tracking bug as requested in #863215

Issue reported at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6051 ('GLIBC update broke EAC for most games that use it')

Another user's bisect implicated a specific commit at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6051#issuecomment-1206888814 ('e47de5cb2d4dbecb58f569ed241e8e95c568f03c is the first bad commit')

Someone posted an alternate glibc tree with this patch reverted at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6051#issuecomment-1207123916 (links to https://github.com/Frogging-Family/glibc-eac) and various users seem to be reporting success with it.

I've had no personal interaction with any of this (still on glibc-2.35), just posting it so Gentoo's glibc team can keep an eye on it.

FYI this also affected media-video/makemkv in the past, but I reported the issue upstream, and they made it work with both hash styles.

This seems to work fine.
