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).
