libc6 with NTPL support?
Hi, i'm running debian sid up-to-date; i was wondering if the libc6 2.3.1-17 libc6 package has the latest NTPL changes needed to get the maximum performance with threads in the 2.5 development kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

They're braindead. It's worth of it when you're for example in stable, when you compile it one time for a lot of time. But luckly, debian didn't kick binary packages as gentoo did (yeah, not fully, but USE flags makes binary packages in gentoo a utopy) People (debian users) could setup mirrors for optimized packages. Doesn't looks a bad idea. Of course, making that debian supports every cpu is braindead: mirrors would run in pain. p2p support for apt would be nice...i'd be a interesting project :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Obviously you haven't looked at the latest security issues in 2.4.X kernels. BTW; the default 2.4.18-bf2.4 ate my ext3 disc soem hour after an installation and about ~100 MB downloaded through a 56k modem (the bug was fixed in 2.4.19).

Can I just copy over my > 2.4.21 .config and add new selections as necessary? Well, currently we've kernel-sources-2.5.69 and friends but it seems a bit outdated. It's much better to create a new config for 2.5. It's very different and it can lead to errors ie: some config values you don't need in 2.5 are necessary in 2.5 and if you import a 2.4 you won't see the default value (enabled) Anyway read http://www.codemonkey.org/post-halloween-2.5.txt, some libraries may need a update. Personally i've been using 2.5 for a long time, appart of the module-init-tools i don't have any problem that i remember right now (well, i don't know if lm-sensors upstream already supports sysfs, the last time i looked at it no) The one thing i miss in debian for 2.5 is a libc6 with NTPL support (Christian Leber put a experimental one at http://ijuz.uugrn.org/nptl-0.52-0/; *BE CAREFUL* as it only works with very recent 2.5 kernels) but i can live without it (it doesn't change the picture a lot in a icewm desktop). The 2.6 betas will start in the next kernel release, but it seems we'll have 2.6-pre kernels some months. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Then again, it would be about as easy to write a web > front-end from scratch as well. :) Yeah. reportbug isn't bad, but it requires a mail server (or a mail account). Web interface should be an option, at least IMHO. I like the KISS principle, too (bugzilla is full featured, no doubt in that) but it has some nice things ie: new bugs reported today (if the debian system can do this i don't know how to do it due to the bad interface) also, bugzilla makes contributions easier: It's damn easy to read the bugs reported to day, and try to fix one if you're not a developer. Much easier than sending requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The current system is good, but it's a bit "obscure" and at least it needs a bit of work to be usable for everybody. I think this is important because isn't allowing to use the full potential of all the users - I want to help to fix simple bugs, or add comments, or experiences or - and that means faster stabilizations, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
