 man getipnodebyname makes no note of that, or even says to see also on
 getaddrinfo.

The man page isn't part of glibc.  File a bug against manpages-dev if
you feel it's inadequate.

Bug#170385: It seems this bug isn't fixed

2003-01-14 Thread Adrian Bunk
The changelog of glibc 2.3.1-6 says:

 - debian/control.in/libc: Conflict against wine ( 0.0.20021007-1)
   (Closes: #170385)   
   Also conflict against php4 ( 4:4.2.3-5)

There seems to be neither a conflict with libwine nor a conflict with 
php4 in libc6 2.3.1-9.

Done. Or at least, I hope it is, if I gave the BTS the correct commands.

Bug#153548: libc6: Results of math functions are sometimes wrong

2003-01-14 Thread Philip Blundell
This still occurs with 2.3.1, and is not PowerPC specific.  I can
reproduce it on ARM, and I would hazard a guess that any architecture
using the generic flt-32 routines will have the same problem.

Bug#164719: Fix for the southamerica timezone file

2003-01-14 Thread Philip Blundell
 Following, a patch to the glibc southamerica timezone file, with the
 right dates for 2002.

Thanks for the patch.

This file has changed upstream in glibc 2.3 and now appears to include
rules for 2002 and 2003.  Would you please take a look at the current
2.3.1 packages in Debian, and send a new patch if one is still required?

Bug#153022: Note that this bug is arch-specific

2003-01-14 Thread Philip Blundell
 On debussy (arm), only FE_ROUNDTONEAREST is defined (is this a bug?
 bits/fenv.h seems to imply that the other rounding modes are available
 on arm but accessed through a different API), and it gives the correct
 results.

This is the best we can do with the current ARM instruction set.

Although notionally the ARM FPA does support other rounding modes, the
selection is done by encoding the desired mode into the instruction,
rather than using a separate control register.  There is no way to
change rounding modes at runtime: it can only be done by recompiling the
program.

Clearly this is a fairly losing scheme, and we will be dropping it along
with the rest of the historical ARM floating-point baggage at some point
in the fairly near future.  But, right now, we're stuck with it and
there is nothing we can change in glibc that will improve matters.

Re: locales in buildd environment (http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2003/debian-gcc-200301/msg00060.html)

2003-01-14 Thread Junichi Uekawa
  To ensure some locales are available, I think you can use LOCPATH,
  and create locales locally, so that the following are available:
de_DE ISO-8859-1
en_US ISO-8859-1
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
  
  
  see /usr/sbin/locale-gen on how to generate these locale data.
 
 ok, it's no problem to generate the data, but I cannot find any
 reference to LOCPATH. Any hints?

I couldn't find any reference to LOCPATH either, but 
setlocale seems to look at directories specified by LOCPATH
in addition to (or instead of) the standard location (/usr/lib/locale)


One example execution of LOCPATH=/tmp strace locale gives me:

.
.
open(/usr/lib/locale/ja.eucJP/LC_IDENTIFICATION, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
open(/tmp/ja.eucjp/LC_IDENTIFICATION, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open(/usr/lib/locale/ja.eucjp/LC_IDENTIFICATION, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
open(/tmp/ja/LC_IDENTIFICATION, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open(/usr/lib/locale/ja/LC_IDENTIFICATION, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
.
.


I also found out that it is mostly undocumented, but apparently is a 
standard feature pretty much known by those who do know, so 
documentation is probably very lacking.


regards,
junichi
