Hi, |

I am using a closed source software package on my 64 bit gentoo linux |
| 4 |
system. The software package is "beyond compare" by scooter soft. |
| 5 |
Because of the way this package is built, it needs a specially patched |
| 6 |
version of glibc. I have patched my existing glibc version (2.18) and |
| 7 |
have been avoiding updating my glibc since. Now I am wondering whether |
| 8 |
the latest update of bcompare will work with the latest glibc (2.19). |

So, if I upgrade to 2.19 and the package doesn't work, how can I go back |
| 11 |
to the working, patched 2.18? I know that portage issues the most scary |
| 12 |
warnings when you try to downgrade glibc. So what does the community |
| 13 |
recommend? |
