I just found out this morning that glibc-2.23 is to be released soon. Looking at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.23, it looks like most of their objectives for the release have been made. Right now I'm building a full LFS at -j1 for size and time statistics and have been planning to go through the release process today for 7.9-rc1. The question is whether we should wait for the latest glibc? I'm not 100% comfortable about updating a critical package just before release. Waiting will certainly push back the stable release. There are some security bugs fixed in the latest version: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00535.html but they look pretty esoteric to me. Opinions? -- Bruce
It's been a while for me. Initially, I'm also thinking to hold the glibc upgrade until after release, but want to know what the release cycle is like now days. Are we talking 1 week RCs?
