Yes, I am frustrated with uClibc and I'm just one package and a few |
| 38 |
stabilizations away from switching to uclibc-ng. The problem is that |
| 39 |
upstream is very far behind in patches, and even further behind in |
| 40 |
releases. So you submit a patch and you don't even know if it will |
| 41 |
apply cleanly because its in a queue of submissions that have not even |
| 42 |
hit git master/HEAD. Or you want to back port a fix to the 0.9.33 |
| 43 |
branch and there's a dozen other intermediate patches that have to be |
| 44 |
applied first. Since these patches really address other issues, you're |
| 45 |
cutting and pasting code. Its a mess. |
