| smallfoot- | Why does Ubuntu have a very old version of glibc? | 21:30 |
| smallfoot- | It has glibc 19, and now there is glibc 22 | 21:30 |
| smallfoot- | I mean it has 2.19 and now there is 2.21 | 21:30 |
| smallfoot- | Ubuntu uses a version that is a year old | 21:30 |
| Rhonda | smallfoot-: ubuntu doesn't package glibc itself but rather takes the Debian package with some changes. | 21:31 |
| smallfoot- | I see | 21:31 |
| Rhonda | … like for most software. | 21:31 |
| smallfoot- | Why does Debian use such an old version of glibc? | 21:32 |
| Rhonda | Because Debian is currently in freeze for their next stable release. | 21:32 |
| Rhonda | Also, because eglibc is used, not glibc, and that is at 2.19 | 21:33 |
| Rhonda | Oh, it switched back. | 21:33 |
| jtaylor | they merged again recently | 21:35 |
| Rhonda | 2.20 was released in september, and the freeze in Debian happend about a month later, or two. | 21:36 |
| Rhonda | I guess the timeframe was too short for the libc maintainers of Debian to pick that one up. | 21:36 |
| jtaylor | glib updates happen slow in debian, I guess partly due to all of the ports | 21:36 |
| jtaylor | ubuntu usually updates faster | 21:37 |
