1 Hi everyone,
2
3 So if anyone has been following uclibc, you know that its development
4 stalled with its last official release in 2012 (https://uclibc.org/).
5 It was forked into uclibc-ng (https://uclibc-ng.org/) which has been
6 actively maintained since. All my uclibc work has been done using
7 sys-libs/uclibc-ng although the profile names still retain /uclibc/ in them.
8
9 Its time to mask and remove sys-libs/uclibc in favor of
10 sys-libs/uclibc-ng. This email is just an alert to the community that
11 I'm going to do that soon.
12
13 I'm not even sure a news item is needed here. What do people think? If
14 you think so, who do I even direct it at?
