#202 Check that packages are 64-bit safe?
Opened 11 years ago by leamas. Modified 7 years ago

IT might make sense to check if package uses stst64-calls asa required by upcoming filesystems. See http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-February/178821.html


From link above:


I have a script (http://sandeen.net/misc/summarise_stat.pl) which Greg Banks wrote; it can check a path or list of filenames for binaries which contain non-64bit-safe stat calls. A quick look over my F18 install finds the situation to be only slightly in favor of executables using 64-bit variants:


We will need to package that script separately (having an upstream) to implement this.
