glibc is on a known release period (~every 6 months). i posted some time ago |
14 |
that Gentoo will be rolling along as well: |
15 |
- have a version in the stable pipeline |
16 |
- have a version in the unstable pipeline |
17 |
- have a version in the masked pipeline |
18 |
as versions in the lower pipeline clear out, the next one will be moving into |
19 |
place. so while exact times haven't been posted (because i don't have them), |
20 |
glibc versions will continue to be released, so maintainers can't sit on their |
21 |
bugs. 2.15 has gone stable which means there's now room for 2.16 which has |
22 |
largely settled down. |
