Over on debian-arm@lists, there has been discussion on and off for several
months now about the impending 32-bit timepocalypse. As many of you are
aware, 32-bit time_t runs out of space in 2038; the exact date is now less
than 15 years away. It is not too early to start addressing the question of
32-bit architecture compatibility, as there are already reports in the wild
of calendar failures for future events on 32-bit archs.
Hi Steve,
Have they also considered the same issue with utmp?
Some of it is reasonably easy to fix by changing the utmp-related calls with the systemd equivalents, but not all fields are available.
