new glibc hits testing

AndyRTR · 2007-10-25 20:18:34

it's a major update - glibc2.7 is now in testing for both architectures. timezone datas has been splitted out into a new tzdata pkg.

give it a try. look out for typical segfault errors when starting programs or found in dmesg. there have also been changes to some locales. file bugs if you find something broken.

I have tested with ftp.archlinux.org without success. I can only do pacman -A tzdata but I don't want .

please use a mirror ,, not the main repo ,, edit the mirrors in /etc/pacman.d

I'm guessing the mirrors hadn't synced yet because I managed just fine.

I looks like (s)he was just using it for testing purposes to see if he was dealing with a bad mirror...

Yes, I was using the main repo for testing purposes, but I got the same error. I'm going to wait a bit and maybe add temporarily tzdata to my local repo.

Edit: It's ok now
