Re: Hello! (and zombie processes...)
If someone wants to give these packages a whirl I've put them up at:
http://gashcrumb.homelinux.org/tmp
the .debs are in "debs" and the patched libc6 source package + test is
in "source". When I built them I just did a "dpkg -i *" and it seemed to go
alright, though I don't think you'd normally need to install the debug and
profile libraries. Note that locales and locales-all showed up as ready to
upgrade after installing these, I've gone and upgraded them and haven't
noticed any problems so far. I've also since removed the debug/profiled
packages from my install.
cheers,
Stan
