Question: If I want to build RPMS for wide distribution to SuSE users, should I build on 7.3 or 7.2 ? For example, do you know if there are any glibc compatibility issues that prevent binaries built on 7.3 from running on 7.2?
I don't think those sort of library incompatabilities are very common other than the big transition between libc and glibc. It's always best for bug-avoidance reasons to build against the latest stable libraries. (Which is also important because of an exploit of glibc of the libraries shipped with both 7.2 and 7.3; use Yast2 Online Update (YOU) to fix the relevant security problems for either distro.) -- You can tell how far we have to go, when FORTRAN is the language of supercomputers. -- Steven Feiner
