I'm completely lost with the heading of this thread. If I understood correctly, what's on the table is the generation of some snapshots until things go on track again (i.e., I setup a chroot'd environment to build the snapshots). Andy, it's not the right time to discuss what should & shouldn't be included in the binary snapshots. And the best way to acomplish this is using the dripkg.sh script, which is the one that has been making the binary snapshots until now. If things don't workout this way then it's best to have no snapshots at all for a couple of days, than to have greater fuss than the one that already is. >The RedHat 8.0/glibc-2.3 "problem" is simple.

Dieter, could you please explain what do you mean with this? If you whish to take up the task of building the snapshots please be my guest, because I'm pretty tired of having to justify myself to others in respect of a service I offer freely using resources which are destinated to a specific unrelated end and that don't even belong to me.
