Вы еще не забыли, как с переходом на glibc-2.1.92 пришлось патчить уйму пакетов с тем, чтобы они собирались? Так вот, это еще цветочки... ----- Forwarded message from Ulrich Drepper ----- Date: 15 Feb 2001 19:12:41 -0800 From: Ulrich Drepper To: GNU libc testers , VGER gcc list Subject: glibc 2.2.2 Reply-To: drepper@cygnus.com (Ulrich Drepper) I've placed the files glibc-2.2.2.tar.bz2 (also .gz) glibc-2.2.1-2.2.2.diff.bz2 (also .gz) glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.2.tar.bz2 (also .gz) in the directory ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/releases/ For those who downloaded the first test release there is glibc-2.2.2pre1-2.2.2.diff.bz2 (also .gz) available. The patches are huge but this is mainly because of extensive changes to the manual (and regeneration) and some big data files. Release 2.2.2 is mainly a bug fix release (with not too many bugs fixed). But it features also a few new things [from the NEWS file]: * Lots of headers were cleaned up. Using the tool in the conform/ subdir we can now check for namespace violations and missing declarations. The result is that almost all headers are now Unix-compliant (as defined in the upcoming XPG6). The negative side is that some programs might need corrections, too, if they depend on the incorrect form of the headers in previous versions which defined too many symbols and included too many other headers. * regex now handles multibyte character sets correctly. Contributed by Isamu Hasegawa . * iconv (the program) does now conform to the upcoming XPG6 and handles charmaps. Instead of the charset names the path of charmaps can be provided and the conversion happens based on this data. Contributed by Ulrich Drepper. * The locale program now provides detailed information about the installed locales. While locale -a only lists the names of the supported locales locale -a --verbose provides details such as country, language, and codeset name. Contributed by Ulrich Drepper. The regex and iconv changes are especially interesting. They mark the end of the internationalization development. All know and standardized internationalization features are implemented. The changes to the system headers might require some programs to be fixed. After extending the test suite to check the system header for correctness I've cleaned them up. There were a multitude of problem. What will be visible is that some headers define fewer symbols now. But this is required. Simply add the correct #include as well and you are fine. Don't try compiling and installing the release unless you know what you are doing. If you are using a distribution wait for the vendor to provide an update. Otherwise read the documents and FAQ carefully. Report all bugs using the glibcbug script or enter them in gnats online. Don't send any question directly to me. Everything has to go to the mailing list . -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------ ----- End forwarded message ----- Regards, Dmitry +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Dmitry V.
