The developers have been discussing a better way of identifying glibc differences in packages, but it will be a while before we likely see anything change within existing packages as we have some higher priority things that are being worked on presently. Consider how many packages there are presently and the amount of time needed to change even one line in each one and make the "new" version available. The rule of thumb is virtually every readily available package is for glibc 2.0 (Bering, Dachstein, LRP, etc....). David has re-compiled the newest Oxygen for glibc-2.1 and re-compiled many (if not all) of his packages for glibc-2.1. There are non-official glibc-2.1 versions of Bering and Dachstein out there, but they are only available off-site at this time. The package repository that Mike is working on will identify the needed glibc version. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
