Summary

mpris-scrobbler is a minimalist user daemon that submits the currently playing

song to LastFM, LibreFM, ListenBrainz, and compatible services. To retrieve

song information, it uses the MPRIS DBus interface, so it works with any media

player that exposes this interface.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead).

su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2019-27e7b92407' at the command

line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at

All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the
