  • ap/sudo-1.9.5p1-x86_64-1.txz
    Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.5 where the editor run by sudoedit
    was set-user-ID root unless SELinux RBAC was in use. The editor is now run
    with the user's real and effective user-IDs.

    (* Security fix *)
  • kernels/*
  • d/autoconf-2.69-noarch-2.txz
    We're seeing failures using autoconf-2.70 with some packages that use
    autoreconf. It looks like most distributions have not moved on to
    autoconf-2.70, and probably we shouldn't either until the next release cycle.
    Thanks to nobodino.
  • e/emacs-27.1-x86_64-2.txz
    Increase SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA to 100000 to avoid overflows. Nobody should be
    too concerned about adding 97K to emacs' memory footprint given the amount of
    memory available on modern machines. Thanks to Jefferson for the bug report.
  • x/vulkan-sdk-1.2.141.0-x86_64-2.txz
    Install additional Vulkan-ValidationLayers-sdk header files.
    Thanks to walecha.
