Comment 1 Petr Gajdos 2022-01-04 10:03:54 UTC

This is interesting:

libbpf[1]> grep SUSE:SLE
SUSE:SLE-15-SP3:GA                                                 libbpf
SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:GA                                                 libbpf
libbpf[1]> isc ls SUSE:SLE-15-SP3:GA/libbpf
libbpf.changes
libbpf.spec
libbpf[0]> isc ls SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:GA/libbpf
baselibs.conf
libbpf-0.5.0.tar.gz
libbpf.changes
libbpf.spec
libbpf[0]>

How could that happen that there is just .spec and .changes?

Comment 2 Petr Gajdos 2022-01-04 10:04:16 UTC

Removing wrong needinfo.

Not really. BuildRequires:  kernel-source is the difference.

Comment 11 Shung-Hsi Yu 2022-10-21 08:27:37 UTC

Fix is now merged upstream https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=51deedc9b8680953437dfe359e5268120de10e30, the same fix needed for bug 1194249.

This only affects Tumbleweed/Factory. I'll apply the fix there.

Comment 12 Shung-Hsi Yu 2022-11-08 08:08:34 UTC

Fix submitted to Tumbleweed/Factory in SR#1034423.
Reassigning back to security team.
