uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since my RFC in Jan 2021, |
| 13 |
noone has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in |
| 14 |
the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc" |
| 15 |
profiles, which will be removed on 2023/01/01. For parties interested in |
| 16 |
an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its |
| 19 |
efforts in that area. |
