I have glibc-2.12.1 running on two ~x86 systems with no problems so far. Hi, Anyone successfully built and using glibc-2.12.1 yet? I see the tree just pushed an update down from 2.11.2 to 2.12.1, and downgrading that package is decidedly non-trivial. Only comment I can find at this early

Hi Alan, a suggestion - for mission critical clone one of your systems into a vm (dd), get it working, upgrade and test. Or clone to a chroot and do the same. Not quite 100% - but allows some peace of mind! BillK On Tue, 2010-08-17 at 17:34 +0200, Alan McKinnon wrote: On Tuesday 17 August
