Description Joshua Lock 2016-04-28 10:38:22 UTC 
expect fails to compile with compiler flags which elevate common string formatting issues into an error (-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security).

Setting assignee to recipe maintainer. Alexander, please update estimate, target, etc. to suit your workload.
Comment 2 Alexander Kanavin 2017-02-07 13:23:31 UTC 
Maybe before 2.3 is out. 100% busy with dnf now.
Comment 3 Joshua Lock 2017-02-07 13:24:35 UTC 
No problem. Should've included reproduction steps much sooner: to observe the failures comment out the recipe's SECURITY_STRINGFORMAT entry in security_cflags.inc and build the recipe with a configuration that utilises security_cflags (i.e. the poky-lsb distro).
