Thoughts?
Thank you. I find it a little ugly to replace the exact version string with only the major+minor version substring. Why can’t we use the full version string? Do you mean that other packages (such as m4, gettext, etc) compare against only the major+minor substring of glibc? If that is so, I think this patch is acceptable as we cannot possibly patch all other packages to use the full version string. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
