Description Joshua Lock 2016-04-28 10:43:35 UTC 
kexec-tools fails to compile with compiler flags which elevate common string formatting issues into an error (-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security).
Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2017-02-07 13:23:19 UTC 
Setting assignee to recipe maintainer. Alexander, please update estimate, target, etc. to suit your workload.

Note: to observe the failures comment out the recipe's SECURITY_STRINGFORMAT entry in security_cflags.inc build the recipe with a configuration that utilises security_cflags (i.e. the poky-lsb distro).
Comment 2 Alexander Kanavin 2017-02-07 13:24:20 UTC 
Maybe before 2.3 is out. 100% busy with dnf now.

This is practically completely fixed upstream, I can fix this as well.
