Hi! Ulrich Drepper [2005-03-22 1:03 -0800]: > Stop all this nonsense now. This is clearly a problem that you do not > understand how to package things. Please try to actually read what I write. Again, *this is not a packaging issue*!!! Please don't tell me you never heard about the purpose of /usr/local and the possibility of locally installing software compiled from source. *sigh* > There will not be any change to the code just to enabled your > unnecessary complications due to non-existing problems. Just because you don't want to read what I write and try to see the problem, it does not mean that it doesn't exist. Also, I did not ask you to modify the official upstream glibc, I asked for a hint how this could be done in a more efficient way. > Create your own changes if you must but be warned: if any of > these changes are visible to the user Erm, *of course* they are visible to the user. If a patch has no effect for users, then it it does not actually change anything and thus it is unnecessary in the first place. > I'll haunt you for introducing incompatibilities and fragmentation. What a great attitude towards the LGPL and the Open Source principle. But at least now I understand why Debian and Ubuntu have 108 files in debian/patches/, if improvements and bug fixes are never going to be applied upstream... Sorry for having asked a genuine and polite question. Regards, Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntulinux.org Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
