Package: eglibc-source Version: 2.11.2-8 As eglibc needs to be updated, it is time to review the minimum required kernel version for eglibc. Enabling a newer kernel will allows glibc to have less workarounds compiled in. This comes at the obvious cost of not having support for older kernels so a tradeoff is needed...
The minimum version supported by eglibc is defined by the MIN_KERNEL_SUPPORTED which as value 2.6.18 in debian/sysdeps/linux.mk. One needs to make a lot of changes in the default installation to run Debian on such an old kernel. As udev >= 147 requires a minimum kernel version of 2.6.27 and is not tested with versions older than 2.6.31 (cf http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg04507.html), I am going to suggest to follow Fedora 14 which moved from 2.6.18 to 2.6.32. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
