The glibc-pre2.1 maintainer is Juan Cespedes. I asked him if I could go ahead and do a NMU for glibc-2.0.94. He wrote that he's got no time right now and I should try. So I fought two weeks with a 2.0.94 snapshot taken from Thorsten Kukuk's rpm-src package. Finally I've got a libc which is usuable for me (Sparc 10, sun4m). I left out all the patches from the 2.0.93 version which didn't impact my box. Note that I left out the getpagesize fix. Now I'm looking for testers before I upload the new version to master. BEWARE: don't try this libc6 version if you don't know how to restore a broken libc. You can totally hose your system if the included libc6 is broken for you (as I did all the time while experimenting ;-) I welcome reports from everyone who's brave enough to try the new version. Please send positive comments, too. ftp://pc5.isr.uni-stuttgart.de Greetings, Christian -- Christian Meder, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the railroad to me ? I never go to see Where it ends.
