So recommending ntplonly is irresponsible.
No problems here. I'd expect people to do their own research before making
the switch. Plus, you can swap in a linuxthreads glibc at any time if need
be, right?
yeah, but problems are known. So there are good reasons NOT to use ntplonly or
to advise to use it generally.
And if you mean 'reemerge glibc' you are right, you can always 'swap' them
around.
What problems? bugs.gentoo.org only lists a few open bugs when I search
for nptl, that even mention nptl, and the only apps mentioned are
bittornado or skype. The bittornado one is more than a year old, while
the skype one seems more like a artsd problem. No bugs are found when I
search for nptlonly.
I personally have been using nptlonly for 6 months on my P4, without
incident. Are these problems only on non-x86 platforms?
