glibc 2.33 mass rebuild on the horizon

Chuck56 · 02-04-2021, 04:35 PM

Does anyone else get the feeling the promised glibc 2.33 mass rebuild is ready to drop? No -current updates yesterday so the stage may be set...

glibc 2.33 was released on 2/1.

Sounds like there's an issue with the 32bit builds and Pat is looking at throwing them into testing/.

Well, the build seemed to go well on x86 with no compile failures, but something about the new glibc kills sshd on 32-bit. I suspect it's a lack of some function or another in the privsep sandbox (it's happened on other architectures with a new glibc before), but have not been able to track down the issue yet. And I'm a bit surprised that Google isn't revealing anyone else running into this yet.

Planning to put the new glibc into /testing with a warning about this situation. As always, any help figuring out a solution is welcomed.

I missed Pat's post yesterday. Good to know.

Whew. My nintendo switch is out of juice and recharging. I don't think I want to do another big glibc upgrade without something to amuse myself. (I'd finished my last dead tree book, as well, along with the ebook I was reading. Without Calibre, I couldn't reload something new...)
