Debian Reveals glibc2.1

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the moving-on-up dept.

piman writes "Today Debian wrapped up glibc2.1 nicely into the unstable/main directory. I hade to remove timezones (not needed anymore), egcc (replaced with new gcc), and checker (don't know why), but it's working fine so far. " I don't even have a slink CD and I'm already eyeing the unstable tree. This isn't healthy. All you livin-on-the-edge types jump in there and screw your boxes up. Can't be worse than the GNOME 1.0 rpms...

  1. new gcc??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2

    In slink, the egcs C compiler is in the egcc package. The gcc package contains the older gcc.

    Because glibc2.1 requires the egcs compiler, gcc now contains the egcs version of gcc and the egcc package is no longer needed.
