Slackware testing new glibc package |
 |
Major software updates and changes are a regular and ongoing concern distribution maintainers need to address. The Slackware project highlighted this in a recent changelog post where testing and upgrading the distribution's C library was discussed. "With all those fixes in place (plus a few more), we have tested and found that everything in the tree compiles cleanly against glibc-2.32. So, the plan is to have another mass rebuild soon against that. Although the ABI didn't technically change, I've heard that libpthread may not be 100% compatible in some corner cases, so we'll err on the side of caution. Hopefully we can get a little testing done on the recompiled system and then go through it all again at the beginning of next month when glibc-2.33 is released. Other than that, how's Mesa working these days? If there are still issues that are resolved by dropping back to the previous branch, let's try to figure those out." |
