Debian switching back to Glibc
Aurelien Jarmo reports that the
Debian Project is switching back to the GNU C Library and will no longer
ship the EGLIBC fork. The reason
is simple: the changes in the Glibc project mean that EGLIBC is no longer
needed and is no longer under development. "This has resulted in a
much more friendly development based on team work with good
cooperation. The development is now based on peer review, which results in
less buggy code (humans do make mistakes). It has also resulted in things
that were clearly impossible before, like using the same repository for all
architectures, and even getting rid of the ports/ directory."
