Description Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2023-10-28 21:05:27 UTC
We need a firefox >=116 stable for binutils-2.41. Please pick one and trigger stabilization!

118.x isn't esr, so the fix will need to be backported to 115.x
Comment 2 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2023-10-29 07:22:43 UTC
I test all ESR on ~arch before stabilizing them. If binutils-2.41 hasn't been hardmasked, there shouldn't be any issues.

with system-ffmpeg? that's where the breakage will be here. if that's ok then we're all good

Most likely yes, I do 6 builds with randomized use flags so everything should be covered. 

Our old 115esr patches have:
  0028-bgo-911679-gcc-binutils-2.41.patch

but that was dropped for 115.4.0. Which, without verifying, most likely means it's been merged upstream for 115.4.0.

thx as ever juippis, we know exactly what to do if it does somehow pop up anyway but i agree it sounds like it's long solved
