[gentoo-user] glibc-2.5

[Marc Blumentritt]

Hi,

after syncing portage yesterday, an update for glibc from 2.4-r4 to 2.5
is shown. Is there anything special to do after this update? Last time
glibc was updated you had to rebuild world, if I remember correct.

Thanks in advance
Marc

glibc-2.4.x was special because it required ntpl which isn't available on an 
i386 CHOST. Either your memory is incorrect or you had to change your CHOST 
because of that. So in short no, you don't need to do anything special after 
upgrading glibc.

IIRC, last time there was a major update to glibc, it came along with
the update to gcc 4.1, which did require rebuilding.

I updated to glibc-2.5 without any problems;  I ran revdep-rebuild
afterwards just in case, but it found nothing needing rebuilding.  I've
compiled a few things since upgrading glibc, with no troubles.

The change to 2.5 was seamless for me with no problems whatsoever. It 
progressed just like upgrading any other package (in complete contrast 
to the glibc-2.4 and gcc-4x upgrades).

I upgraded when it hit ~x86 on Oct 11 and it's been recompiled 3 times 
since, all problem free.
