Having read about the libc5 fork of glibc in Rick Moen's "Fear of Forking" essay, I went looking for more info about this fork since it seems to have healed so well that no one ever talks about it anymore. It also seems strangely underdocumented for a 10 year old event in a community that values putting everything about everything online.
http://fsfe.org/en/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/history_of_glibc_and_linux_libc If anyone knows any other sources of info that I didn't reference, I'd be happy to hear about them. You could ask the horse directly instead of relying on third-hand information. Roland McGrath (person who wrote glibc 1.x and 2.x) and H.J. Lu who maintained Linux libc4 and libc5. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@fsfeurope.org https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
