NPTL has been around for long enough that applications are beggining to rely on the newer more correct signal delivery semantics. In these cases switching to NPTL will help. Ruby has several assumptions about correct signal delivery which should be fixed by NPTL. However, this does not fix all the problems with ruby. I do not intend to fix ruby right now, but instead focus on more stable kernels. > I would blame recent failures on failure to build kernel, maybe? > AFAICT there was the phonet issue (fixed since then) and it seems > recent kernel builds fail to link the btrfs module... Is this a toolchain issue? Cheers, Carlos. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hppa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
