Well, the first is linked statically to all libs but libc, and thus needs a glibc 2.4 at runtime, while the second is completely static, and only needs a system with a 2.6 kernel. So, in theory, the second would be the preferred binary, because it runs on a wider variety of possible systems. But for static binaries, NSS is limited, see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/FAQ.html#s-2.22. Therefore, I'd suggest using the first binary, where possible :) -- Thomas Moschny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

A simpler solution than all this might be to just use one of the standalone binaries from the web site: http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.36/mtn-0.36-linux-x86.bz2 http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.36/mtn-0.36-linux_2.6-static.bz2 Just uncompress, rename to "mtn", make executable, and put somewhere in your path, and they should work.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, Ubuntu reports 0.33 as the latest version, I'd like to upgrade all my systems (MacOS, Windows and Linux) to 0.36, but Linux is holding me back. No, Linux is not holding you back. What is holding you back is that you are using a stable "long-term support" version of Ubuntu: this means no package upgrades unless absolutely necessary (i.e. critical bug fixes but not new features). In fact, your Linux is also being held back unless you've compiled and installed the latest version (2.6.22.4) manually. If you absolutely must have the latest version, upgrade to Debian unstable by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list to point at the Debian repository instead of the Ubuntu ones. Then, do "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade". monotone 0.36-1 is in unstable but has not migrated to testing yet, and is being blocked by test failures on some architectures (this is intentional). OR simply build monotone 0.36 yourself and install it in /usr/local. No need to switch the whole system to unstable to get a more recent version of a single package, specially if it is a tool that nothing else relies on. -- Julio M.

Of course, by migrating to unstable, you take a risk as the name implies. As far as I'm concerned, I run Debian testing on my laptop and I am content with monotone 0.33-8 and linux 2.6.21-6. -- Ludovic Brenta. ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
