TL;DR

What Merged

• rippled — Corrected and simplified Linux packaging: restored RPM systemd/shadow-utils dependencies that were silently dropped, and declared the DEB's real libc6 floor. rippled#8165 (+365/−74)

• rippled — Renamed temBAD_WASM to temINVALID_BYTECODE. rippled#8156 (+19/−19)

• rippled — Updated the ripple/smart-escrow submodule (+63808/−30836 across 671 files). rippled#8138

Opened
