Fedora 30: geocode-glib Security Update
Summary
geocode-glib is a convenience library for the geocoding (finding longitude,
and latitude from an address) and reverse geocoding (finding an address from
coordinates). It uses Nominatim service to achieve that. It also caches
(reverse-)geocoding requests for faster results and to avoid unnecessary server
load.
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). This includes gnome-initial-setup,
which was affected by this problem, resulting in a [release-blocking
bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099) that prevented it
running correctly with SELinux in enforcing mode.
[ 1 ] Bug #1699099 - gnome-initial-setup 3.32.0+ crashes due to SELinux denials (because it has execstack flag set, because meson 0.50.0 sets it when it shouldn't)
