I'll be back on the 10th. I'll hopefully be reading mail at least once a day. I'd appreciate if we could step up the speed for the 2.3 work a bit. If I'm doing development myself lots of patches are not reviewed. Please see whether you can look into the items on the to do list (I'm finishing the locale archive soon, so don't bother looking into this). There are also a few more things: - the various *xattr syscalls which were introduced in the 2.5 kernel might need libc support. I guess they do. But somebody should contact whoever wrote the code and ask them about the API which should be provided. - we should get support for the /lib/modules/*/build symlinks. This is how the kernel headers should be found (for compiling glibc, not for using it). We need some configure changes. It would also be good to allow the user to specify with version to use.=20 Ideally the --enable-kernel flag would also have something to do with this. I haven't thought it out so be creative. - at the last POSIX meeting we finally decided that fflush(inputstream) is needed. I'm not sure how much we'll have to change. At least the FILE-over-mmap implementation has to change a bit - if somebody wants to do something for the locale code: we will have to allow locales which only have the three letter country code. This is a minor change in localedef. There are probably some other things. If/when I remember I send it along. --=20 ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------ --=-Um/zljJuf7OgxP32Ny1C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-length: 232 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA89vfh2ijCOnn/RHQRAjABAJ9gWo5Lwo0kl2qe5/Srh/Gf3XkAZgCdHN8X smusXrQ7PF2cJBYOtqfmbNM= =d61t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-Um/zljJuf7OgxP32Ny1C--
