There are still some left, notably newly introduced ones. :-) For those I=E2=80=99ve just reopened core-updates with the intent of freezi= ng it in a couple of days or so. The changes should be limited to: 1. ld-wrapper bugs fixed (just pushed); 2. libstdc++ not having libgcc_s in its RUNPATH (bug #20358); 3. #:validate-runpath? turned on by default for all the build systems (currently it=E2=80=99s only gnu-build-system); more broken packages w= ill become apparent as a result; 4. libc=E2=80=99s own message catalogs are installed (just pushed). I think Eric has a small Perl patch that would be welcome, but that=E2=80= =99s about it. Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.
