Fedora 30: blis FEDORA-2019-5fec758a3f Security Advisory

Don't call popen on ARM (in case it's run with privileges). Also replace patch to use FMA with simd pragma.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-5fec758a3f 2019-09-24 01:08:20.358459 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : blis Product : Fedora 30 Version : 0.6.0 Release : 4.fc30 URL : https://github.com/flame/blis Summary : BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework Description : BLIS is a portable software framework for instantiating high-performance BLAS-like dense linear algebra libraries. The framework was designed to isolate essential kernels of computation that, when optimized, immediately enable optimized implementations of most of its commonly used and computationally intensive operations. While BLIS exports a new BLAS-like API, it also includes a BLAS compatibility layer which gives application developers access to BLIS implementations via traditional BLAS routine calls. This packaging contains automatically-dispatched architecture-optimized kernels for some targets, notably recent x86_64. This is the serial version. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Don't call popen on ARM (in case it's run with privileges).
