I've now finished my desktop rebuilds (back to 7.6). For _my_
BLFS-7.8 and 7.9 the versions of all the affected libs had the same
major and minor, so I just dropped those in and restarted X.
For everything else I did a more-or-less full rebuild (including
freetype, fontconfig, llvm, mesa) without fonts. Took me a while to
rework my 'upgrade' script last used for the 2013 vulnerabilities,
and at first I missed that mtdev had come in as a dep for evdev.
The older systems were mostly running gcc-4.9, which I already know
to be problematic. I had some issues, including :
elfutils - BPF variables not defined, probably because the system
used 3.19 kernel headers.
mesa - nouveau warnings treated as errors. I don't have any nv
video chips so I disabled it, but that was hard (once again, mesa
doesn't like a quote character in front of the first dri driver.
So my mesa script how has -
GALLIUMDRVS="r300,r600,radeonsi,svga,swrast,swr"
DRIDRVS="--with-dri-drivers=i915,i965,r200,radeon,swrast"
./autogen.sh CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS" \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--enable-texture-float \
--enable-gles1 \
--enable-gles2 \
--enable-osmesa \
--enable-xa \
--enable-gbm \
--enable-glx-tls \
$DRIDRVS \
--with-egl-platforms="$EGLPLATFORMS" \
--with-gallium-drivers="$GALLIUMDRVS"
And in 7.6 I couldn't build current libarchive (I did rebuild cmake,
assuming the current version might be needed for llvm) so I punted
on that.
Sorry this is isn't the shortcut you hoped for, but Xorg on each
system does still work (although my *large* before/after logs blew
out /home on one machine - I only noticed when I could no longer
login with sddm).
