I've built a dozen libc5 version deb's including bash 2.01 and ncurses 3.4. They've been working great for me so far, and might be useful for someone who are not ready for glibc. The problem is I don't have a place to upload to. If someone has a ftp site and is willing to hold these packages, I'd be glad to upload. Let me know via email, since I'm not on this list. Cheers. Hong (P.S. XFree 3.3.1 is out for a while. It's basically a bug-fixed release. AFAIK, the debian maitainer is busy migrating the packages to glibc, therefore it's very unlikely there will be a libc5 version going into the bo tree. I'm not going to upgrade to hamm before it gets more stable since I've something important going on on my debian box. However, I don't wait too long for X 3.3.1 either, because it claimed a bug related to my video card driver had been fixed. So I intended to build a libc5 version of X 3.3.1. But the problem is that I don't have enough space to do so (the largest package I can build is XEmacs). To build X, I believe, I at least need 500 mb disk space. Again, if someone out there is interested in this and willing to provide me a temporary account on his/her debian libc5 box for the weekend, I'm willing to build the packages and make them available to all interested parties.
