After 6 years, anyone still on uclibc has a seriously broken system. I doubt migration is even possible at this point. -- Anthony G.

If there is no action needed on user side and an upgrade and migration from uclibc to uclibc-ng happens automatically, I'd say no news item is necessary. Further, seeing "uclibc-ng" being emerged and "uclibc" unmerged should be pretty self explanatory. Best, Matthias
[gentoo-dev] Its time to mask sys-libs/uclibc
Hi everyone, So if anyone has been following uclibc, you know that its development stalled with its last official release in 2012 (https://uclibc.org/). It was forked into uclibc-ng (https://uclibc-ng.org/) which has been actively maintained since. All my uclibc work has been done using sys-libs/uclibc-ng although the profile names still retain /uclibc/ in them. Its time to mask and remove sys-libs/uclibc in favor of sys-libs/uclibc-ng. This email is just an alert to the community that I'm going to do that soon. I'm not even sure a news item is needed here. What do people think? If you think so, who do I even direct it at? -- Anthony G.
