Hi,
This is a request to have a elfutils early release. Number of patches have been pushed on top of last release ( in July) https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/0.156/
I run Systemtap on Ubuntu distribution, am happy to use elfutils tarball rather than rpm.
Best regards Naresh Kamboju

I guess it makes sense to release early and release often. I was hoping to get some more stuff in (unwinder and arm64 backend) before the next release. But those will probably take some time to polish. Having a quick release now with what we have might be a good idea. I did already backport the cfi_abi patches for arm, ppc and s390 to the fedora elfutils package. Having a new release would help other distros not wanting to do backports. And maybe the systemtap hackers would also like to see a quick release with the dwarf_getfuncs () fixes so they can just point at a newer elfutils version instead of having to add workarounds to their own code.
Lets see what we have at the end of the week. And aim for a 0.157 release next week after running tests on various systems.
Cheers,
Mark
In general I think it makes more sense to do another release quickly than ever to do any backports for Fedora.

Oh, but we can make _another_ release when those come in!
Thanks, PM
Hi,
I prepared the sources for a 0.157 release (see attached) and updated and tested the portable and robustify branches. It looks ready for a release as far as I can see, but I will be without internet for the rest of the day. So please test what we have in master now and let me know if anything is wrong. If it seems fine I'll run some more tests on Mondayon different arches and push the release officially.
I don't mind to get Petr's last patches in, but won't be around for another review. They looked mostly fine to me though. If they go in we'll need to rebase the branches and retest a bit though. So maybe postpone them till after the release on Monday.
Cheers,
Mark
