Re: Installing glibc-2.21 on debian-8
I read from https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental link that installing experimental package will functinaly break the system. I want to know when experimental branch will become stable, Do i get any page where this information already exist? Dhiraj

Re: Installing glibc-2.21 on debian-8
Hi, If you really need latest development tools, i suggest you to switch to Fedora 22. (glibc-2.21-5 and gcc 5.1.1). It will be easier and faster than trying to modify glibc stuff in Debian 8.

May be if i can patch the glibc with all security patches will be enough for me. What exactly is the requirement? That you develop against latest libc or that you deploy with latest libc? Because you mentioning security patches makes me suspect it's the latter, in which case it's a seriously bad idea to build your own. Are you going to subscribe to the CVE lists and rebuild every security patch yourself? Have you factored the ongoing maintenance cost of that in your project? If it's only that your project needs to build against the latest glibc, I recommend you start with an unstable buildroot (man debootstrap), and install your latest libraries in there. You don't even need to develop in the chroot, just develop on your own and run the integration tests in the chroot.

Regards, Arno Thanks @Darac. i am new to this, But what i understood is debian system must have glibc which is shipped as with installation media and better i don't mess with it. I will try the experimental branch. @Amo: Your suggestion about ROI is acceptable and thanks for reminding the cost effectiveness for the same.
