clone 231538 -1
reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
retitle -1 sarge needs upgrade-i386 directory which gives us upgrade-path for real i386 architecture
thanks
I'm sorry posting this mail to so many people...
Summary:
- Original bug #231538 will be fixed by debian-glibc maintainer team
at the next glibc 2.3.2.ds1-12 which adds the code to prevent
installing sarge's glibc on real 80386 arch with kernel < 2.4.24.
- Debian decided to make dists/sarge/main/upgrade-i386 for providing
upgrade path for real 80386 architecture.
- ftp.debian.org maintainer needs to make upgrade-i386 directory with
appropriate documents/binaries/libraries.
- Release document/management team need to write additional notes
about upgrade-i386 issue into sarge release announce documents for
i386 architecture.
- Kernel maintainer may need to put kernel 2.4.24 or newer into
upgrade-i386 directory. The newer kernel has 486 emulation code
which can install sarge's libraries even on real 80386
architecture.

OK, I cloned it and I assigned it to ftp.debian.org. Martin seems
to prepare making upgrade-i386 directory, though.

Yup. Before releasing sarge, we need to work for upgrade-i386 directory.
Thanks to all people who comments to this bug!
