: That's very good to hear, you just unwittingly did testing for this package moving to Tumblweed, which I really appreciate :)
And no, it's not going to move their yet, but it will, eventually...
Might I ask what the benefit of having the latest glibc in Tumbleweed is? (I am not against running the latest and greatest, that's why I'm running FACTORY. I really appreciate recent kernels, because they usually fix stuff or add new drivers, but until today I never really noticed the benefit of such a minor step in glibc versions, so rebuilding and redownloading everything just because of this update seems wasteful to me)
There were a number of issues resolved and new features added with this glibc update, so why wouldn't we want it included in Tumbleweed once it has shaken out to be stable? And hopefully not everything will rebuild when we add it, I'm working on that at the moment.
Will you also update Tumbleweed to gcc 4.6?
Perhaps, but by the time all of the packages get working properly with it, the next major release of openSUSE might be here so the upgrade path would be to it instead. In short, we will see. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
