Packagers gcc/glibc update information

Packagers please remove the gcc section from your synaptic sections list as it will be removed from the repos now.


*****************************************************

Open Synaptic
Select Settings
Select Repositories
Change to ibiblio
In the section area add gcc (I will move these packages to testing later then to main)
Click OK
Press Reload
Press Mark Upgrades
Click Apply.

Click on Search
Type kernel-headers
Right click and mark kernel-headers 2.6.30-2
Click Apply.

Upgrading should be painless. You will probably get 2 rpmnew files in /etc which can be deleted later.
All new build packages will have pclos2010 suffix

You should add to each spec file you are packaging in the future:
Requires:   glibc >= 2.10.1
Requires:   libstdc++6 >= 4.4.1

The above Requires will force the pick and choosers to get the minimum update to be able to run new gcc built programs. This update should fix some compile problems with KDE 4, allow us to move past the 2.6.28.10 kernel and provide new programs that require updated gcc/glibc.

"I can'ta believe it!  A real Ferrari!  Guido!  Show him oura tires."  (Cars, the movie)

So, what takes precedence, kde3 or kde4.  I'm ready to go either way, soon as my local repo syncs up.  (feel free to PM the answer)

Do I sound excited?  Well...... I AM!

does this mean it will be possible to do an upgrade without wiping out the current install and install 2010? what technical problem will prevent this from happening? applications compiled against the current glibc/gcc should be able to work with the new set

Yes

is it ok to update these two packages now on a "production" machine? ..any particular reason why not if the answer is no?

Not sure just yet. Still testing on various installs. So far all apps work fine. Only issue I think so far is if you don't have your box set to localtime an incorrect symlink is set in /etc folder.  Locales also need to be checked.
