Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Looking at what I'm about to pick up via emerge, I notice this |
4 |
|
5 |
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1 [2.6.1] |
6 |
|
7 |
This immediately sets off alarm bells for me, since glibc is the basis of the |
8 |
whole system. If I pick this up do I have to rebuild everything? |
9 |
|
10 |
I've also frozen my kernel at 2.6.25 for now due to the nvidia-drivers |
11 |
package. I have to use an older one for 3D accel and it doesn't work with the |
12 |
newer kernels according to a bug report I saw. At some point I'm assuming that |
13 |
a new glibc will require a new kernel too, if the interface changes, so |
14 |
presumably I'll have to update eventually. |
15 |
|
16 |
I could just use the nv driver since the 3D accel is not a must-have, or pick |
17 |
up a new video card. Currently VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in my make.conf just |
18 |
automatically pulls in nvidia-drivers though, which is broken for me. |
19 |
|
20 |
But I digress. Upgrade glibc, rebuild everything? I suppose revdep-rebuild |
21 |
will figure that out anyway... |
