Hi everyone,
I haven't updated in a little while, and am seeing a lot of big updates...
The main ones that concern me are:
perl (5.16 5.18)
No problem other than you might have a bunch of blockers to resolve and
of course perl-cleaner to run. Just keep cycling through it till it
completes; preserved-rebuild will keep your system intact.
All regular Gentoo stuff, nothing to be concerned about. Besides, if it
breaks you know what to do (and no-one can really tell you about
breakage in advance)
mariadb (5.5.37 10.0.12)
No info
and of course, I always worry about:
glib (2.38.2-r1 2.40.0-r1)
This is not a problem, but you keep raising it. glib is a bunch of
helper functions and in no way related at all to glibc (an entirely
different kettle of fish)
glibc (2.17 2.19-r1)
No problem. There were no ABI changes to glibc for ages now
Anyone have any warnings/caveats about these updates?
Especially the mariadb update? I'm thinking about masking that one for a
while, just to be safe...
Run it in your test environment and satisfy yourself first
