any news about the 7.0 builds of these libraries? Still can't see them on the website.
We'll be building them, most likely today. Olaf has been working on them: We're in good hands.
Sorry for bothering again, but the packages (for SuSE 7.1) are still not available (one month after the announcement and two weeks after the scheduled date [1]). I ask because we have a scheduled downtime on Wednesday (early morning) so it would be convenient if I could do the glibc-update then. I'm a little confused about the changelog entries: Is it correct, that this package (for 7.1) ... ,----[ $ rpm -qp --changelog ./7.1/a1/glibc-2.2-22.i386.rpm|head -3] | * Fri Aug 02 2002 - kukuk@suse.de | | - Check for overflow on multiplication in xdr_array(). `---- ... doesn't contain the fix, whereas this one (7.3) does? ,----[ $ rpm -qp --changelog ./7.3/a1/glibc-2.2.4-75.i386.rpm|head -3] | * Sat Aug 10 2002 - schwab@suse.de | | - Security fix for xdr_array. `---- Bye, Reiner.
