+ == Sun RPC Interfaces Moved From glibc To libtirpc
 

+ 

+ Fedora 28 now uses https://sourceforge.net/projects/libtirpc/[libtirpc] to implement the Sun RPC protocol.
 

+ 

+ The glibc imlementation of Sun RPC was not compatible with IPv6 and adding IPv6 support would have required a change to the glibc ABI.
 

+ As a result, the Sun RPC implementation was moved to a separate library, libtirpc, which has been packaged in Fedora since Fedora 7.
 

+ Sun RPC support in glibc has been deprecated for a long time and this change aligns Fedora with the upstream projects.

This is the draft release note for Issue #93 'Removal of Sun RPC Interfaces From glibc'. @fweimer please would you review the text and let me know if anything needs to be added, changed or removed?
