Debian substiruirá glibc por EGLIBC

O OSNews e o LWN informam sobre o recém-anunciado processo de substituição da glibc (GNU C Library), que deve ocorrer em breve, e em prol da EGLIBC, uma reimplementação compatível e desenvolvida primariamente tendo em vista sistemas embarcados.

A compatibilidade (com fontes e binários) deverá ser mantida, e os nomes de pacotes também serão mantidos (exceto os dos fontes). As razões da mudança (que não se restringe às arquiteturas embarcadas) foram sumarizadas em um post de um mantenedor do pacote no Debian.

Aparentemente, no entanto, boa parte das razões da decisão parecem repousar na atitude do principal mantenedor da GNU libc, Ulrich Drepper, e na qualidade da comunicação com ele, com alguns exemplos mencionados no mesmo post acima.

  1. Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

  2. The physician says it was bloody colitis caused by food poisoning… In brief, the bacilli had taken me for
    the invasion seashore. In the forties, whereas my mother and I
    were visiting a relative in New York and my father was busy with college students in Wellesley and butterflies in Cambridge, he collapsed
    with acute food poisoning after a meal at a Cambridge restaurant known as
    the Wursthaus.

  3. I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this website.
    I am hoping to check out the same high-grade content from you later on as
    well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to
    get my own, personal site now ;)
