This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing the project "uClibc-ng - small C library for embedded systems". The branch, master has been updated via 2bc8b6d0d763010295d7fce47a6d0363cdb1b5e1 (commit) from a0c37f580fe1017abb312fb2fe030ac1d512a98f (commit) Those revisions listed above that are new to this repository have not appeared on any other notification email; so we list those revisions in full, below. - Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- commit 2bc8b6d0d763010295d7fce47a6d0363cdb1b5e1 Author: Thomas Claveirole <thomas.claveirole(a)green-communications.fr> Date: Tue Feb 2 12:13:09 2016 +0100 include/netdb.h: Do not define IDN-related flags. getaddrinfo() does not implement IDN encoding, and always fail when provided an IDN flag (e.g., AI_IDN) with EAI_BADFLAGS. Some packages (such as the VLC media player) check for AI_IDN before they use it; providing an unimplemented AI_IDN in the libc makes these package fail. As a result they make calls to getaddrinfo() with AI_IDN that always fail while they could have made successful calls without AI_IDN instead. Thus, do not define IDN flags: it is better not to compile rather than to compile a code that always fail.
