glibc-2.28 allows you to disable libcrypt.so.1 and it's header: * We have tentative plans to hand off maintenance of the passphrase-hashing library, libcrypt, to a separate development project that will, we hope, keep up better with new passphrase-hashing algorithms. We will continue to declare 'crypt' in <unistd.h>, and programs that use 'crypt' or 'crypt_r' should not need to change at all; however, distributions will need to install <crypt.h> and libcrypt from a separate project. In this release, if the configure option --disable-crypt is used, glibc will not install <crypt.h> or libcrypt, making room for the separate project's versions of these files. The plan is to make this the default behavior in a future release. https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt provides a substitute in various forms (ABI compatible and not compatible). We need to come up with a transition plan to keep user's systems working while moving to a new library.
A package.use.force-ed "crypt" USE flag could be useful in testing transition plans, and hopefully come up with one that breaks the least things. We could also do some tinderbox runs with it turned off to find packages that would need their dependencies updated.
A few immediate requirements I see are: 1. /lib64/libcrypt.so.1 (amd64) should be provided either by glibc or by libxcrypt 2. have a dependency story: what should clients depend on? Some options are: - depend on glibc (glibc has an RDEPEND). rebuild information will not be propagated if/when libxcrpt changes ABI - depend on libxcrypt explicitly - depend on a virtual. virtual will need to provide ABI information 3. transition of ownership from glibc to libxcrypt must not break running applications. that can be done either by keeping libcrypt.so.1 in glibc for a while or by installing libcrypt.so.1 from libxcrypt 4. other libcs will need a story around symbol ownership: for example musl provides crypt() as part of libc.so. I'm not sure it there is a way to disable it.
5. There needs to be clear expectation of (in)compatibility switching libcrypt.so.1 across providers: are they 1:1 compatible or not. AFAIU the current state is that libxcrypt is a superset of glibc.

As regards to musl, I wrote to the mailing-list, and this was the reply: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2019/11/08/10 . Somewhat out of my depth here, if someone wants to pick up the baton .. ;)
Practically toolchain@ does not drive the transition. None of the questions of #comment3 / #comment4 were answered here or in https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/94a9934d91472fcc48f54ee1084cab1e. It makes it very hard for me to reason about interaction of libxcrypt with glibc or other libcs. Closing as OBSOLETE for toolchain@.

(The virtual requests libxcrypt[system], which requires glibc[-crypt]. [system] controls where the library header files go, directly into include or in a subdir.) > 3. transition of ownership from glibc to libxcrypt must not break running > applications. that can be done either by keeping libcrypt.so.1 in glibc for > a while or by installing libcrypt.so.1 from libxcrypt This can be achieved via enabling the compat useflag of libxcrypt (which installs libcrypt.so.1).

AFAIU the > current state is that libxcrypt is a superset of glibc. Correct. Current state: * Binaries built against glibc[crypt] should work just fine with libxcrypt[compat]. * Binaries built against libxcrypt will link against libcrypt.so.2 This means switching back from libxcrypt to glibc is only possible via preserved-libs etc. == @chutzpah: could you please proofread this whether I summarized it correctly?

(Thanks juippis and floppym! We noticed this because juippis hit an interesting edge case when using binpkgs.) 2) We initially tried to pre-generate the results of a Perl tool called during `./configure` in order to avoid unconditionally needing Perl. (I thought we could do this because the input is constant for all of the Gentoo build variants - for now. I later realised there's other Perl usage which we're stuck with for now without pre-generating a *lot*.) (Thanks mattst88! We noticed this while digging into suggestions for upstream.) So, for now, we're just fixing 1), and adding a BDEPEND on Perl for 2) to make it explicit. (Both best explained within the comments of the ebuild.)

Not yet doing this for musl (need to figure that out still) or uclibc (which is going away, see news). Was on the fence about doing this given it makes it slightly more awkward to put off the upgrade if desired, but that's really discouraged at this point, and I think it's worth it to make upgrades easier for more people. This helps Portage realise it can/should upgrade to virtual/libcrypt:0/2 rather than giving very confusing blocker errors (which it often, but not always, gets past). Final push to do this was a forum post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1145602.html Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/699422 Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/809410 Signed-off-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> profiles/base/package.mask | 9 +++++++++ profiles/features/musl/package.mask | 1 + profiles/features/uclibc/package.mask | 1 + 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+)
