clone 231538 -1 reassign -1 ftp.debian.org retitle -1 sarge needs upgrade-i386 directory which gives us upgrade-path for real i386 architecture thanks
I'm sorry posting this mail to so many people... Summary: - Original bug #231538 will be fixed by debian-glibc maintainer team at the next glibc 2.3.2.ds1-12 which adds the code to prevent installing sarge's glibc on real 80386 arch with kernel < 2.4.24. - Debian decided to make dists/sarge/main/upgrade-i386 for providing upgrade path for real 80386 architecture. - ftp.debian.org maintainer needs to make upgrade-i386 directory with appropriate documents/binaries/libraries. - Release document/management team need to write additional notes about upgrade-i386 issue into sarge release announce documents for i386 architecture. - Kernel maintainer may need to put kernel 2.4.24 or newer into upgrade-i386 directory. The newer kernel has 486 emulation code which can install sarge's libraries even on real 80386 architecture. At Thu, 01 Apr 2004 03:38:24 -0500, Nathanael Nerode wrote: > | So...

OK, I cloned it and I assigned it to ftp.debian.org.

Before releasing sarge, we need to work for upgrade-i386 directory. Thanks to all people who comments to this bug!
