Debian switching to EGLIBC

Debian switching to EGLIBC
[Distributions] Posted May 6, 2009 13:48 UTC (Wed) by corbet

Here's a weblog posting with an interesting statement: "I have just uploaded Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) into the archive (it is currently waiting in the NEW queue), which will soon replace the GNU C Library (GLIBC)." The EGLIBC project has produced a version of the C library aimed primarily at embedded situations. Evidently the Debian developers feel that it is good enough for wider use, though, and they seem to strongly prefer the way that project is run upstream. (Thanks to Paul Wise).
