[08:07] <dholbach> good morning
[08:14] <highvoltage> wom 23
[08:15] <highvoltage> oops, typo. I meant...
[08:15] <highvoltage> good mornign!
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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.
[21:32] <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.
[21:33] <Rhonda> Also, because eglibc is used, not glibc, and that is at 2.19
[21:33] <Rhonda> Oh, it switched back.
[21:35] <jtaylor> they merged again recently
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <jtaylor> ubuntu usually updates faster
