I've built a dozen libc5 version deb's including bash 2.01 and ncurses
3.4. They've been working great for me so far, and might be useful for
someone who are not ready for glibc. The problem is I don't have a place
to upload to. If someone has a ftp site and is willing to hold these
packages, I'd be glad to upload. Let me know via email, since I'm not on
this list.
Cheers.

(P.S. XFree 3.3.1 is out for a while. It's basically a bug-fixed release.
AFAIK, the debian maitainer is busy migrating the packages to glibc,
therefore it's very unlikely there will be a libc5 version going into the
bo tree. I'm not going to upgrade to hamm before it gets more stable since
I've something important going on on my debian box. However, I don't wait
too long for X 3.3.1 either, because it claimed a bug related to my video
card driver had been fixed. So I intended to build a libc5 version of X
3.3.1. But the problem is that I don't have enough space to do so (the
largest package I can build is XEmacs). To build X, I believe, I at least
need 500 mb disk space. Again, if someone out there is interested in this
and willing to provide me a temporary account on his/her debian libc5 box
for the weekend, I'm willing to build the packages and make them available
to all interested parties. Thanks.)
