Because, any overlays I host use the new portage Manifest2, meaning no digests. You need portage-2.1.2 or greater.

does any of you have roman numerals (like III, IV) in files' dates? I reinstalled gentoo from scrach using this glibc snapshot and instead of regular "19 mar 2007" I have now "19 III 2007" which is very annoying. I'm sure locales/localtime is configured OK (for Polish/Poland), I reused backed up /etc configuration files.

Thats really strange, more strange that only the month is showing up as a roman numeral.

It isn't III, it is 111, the 111th month of the year, Googooberary.

Hm same here - after some update, I don't know whitch

Well about the Roman Numeral problem I can't reproduce the problem so I really cant do much, I don't think my glibc snapshot is causing this, unless it has to do with a locale I don't use which is every one besides en_us.

mbar · Post by **mbar** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 6:39 am

I reproduced it two times now for pl_PL locale. I upgraded stable glibc-2.5-r1 to the latest snapshot (this was the only emerge on my second computer) and boom, roman numerals showed up instantly after emerging. I didn't touch anything.
Truth be said, it's only a minor nuisance, so I can live with it until next stable glibc version.

Using the 0319 snapshot, my system seems to have problems with file timestamps. Random files will have a date in the future when they're read, without having been accessed. I made a simple script to find all files with a date in the furture and touch them, the restore correct timestamps for any files in the portage db. When I run it, everything is fine for a random amount of time, but then at some point when I check again, another set of random files have the problem. I don't think I'd have noticed, but if it affects files in /etc/init.d I get warnings at boot, and if it affects certain portage related files, python complains.

This has happened to ext4 and reiser4 partitions. I don't want to risk mounting my ext2 /boot, but I can check an xfs partition too. Locale is en_GB, on amd64. Everything seems normal from a LiveCD. Any ideas?

I have had this problem but i haven't really messed with it, i thought this had something to do with my bios clock being funny. But now that i see its not a local problem ill look in to it.

I was searching the glibc bug reports and this http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4098 it seems its a old bug. no status has been changed.

---EDIT----

The time stamp problem wasn't due to glibc but more so due to ext4dev/reiser4. the patch for ext4 went upstream and i havent encountered them since 2.6.21

Sorry for such a long delay in updates as i have been busy.

I have updated to 0430 today and this update includes the glibc-linuxthreads and glibc-ports snapshot updates. Updated patches to 1.4.2.

http://glibcsnap.googlecode.com/files/g ... 430.ebuild

I updated my entire system with this snapshot and have no problems, It would be nice to know if the PL locale has been fixed in this update. thanks and always remember

NEVER POST BUGS TO bugs.gentoo.org

Use http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/ente ... duct=glibc

Or post here.

I downloaded the build, built the digests, and it bombs on glibc-gcc4.3.patch. i did update my copy of the svn tree before trying to build.

... duh

R-Type · Post by **R-Type** » Wed May 02, 2007 6:06 pm

The ebuild still references it. I disabled the 'fixinline' useflag that triggers it and glibc seems to build ok. I'm using gcc 4.2 however.

seren · Post by **seren** » Wed May 02, 2007 9:10 pm

I'm not 100% positive but I think these patches have been introduced upstream, maybe you can test and see if this snapshot will build with gcc-4.3 without using the fixinline use, if it works, then ill remove the use from the ebuild.

mbar · Post by **mbar** » Fri May 04, 2007 5:20 pm

do we get glibc-2.5-r2 ebuild?

Well, I would, but I still get errors during a gcc 4.3 build on my amd64 system. during the libstdc++ build, it stops at compatibility.cc and spits out a bunch of undefined functions (::fpos_t, ::clearerr,::feof,::ferror,::fflush,::fgetc,::fgetpos,::fgets,::fopen and others). I haven't been able to build it since mid-december 06.

Im only going to be making snapshot ebuilds here, but i have taken the 2.5-r2 patches and added them to 20070430-r1 here it is

I may setup a chroot tonight to test 4.3.0 and ill see what comes of it, may take a day or two expect something by Monday.

Has any one had any success in updating the GCC 4.3 patch?

Playing around with it now it has Cell support for my PS3

why arent you just using http://glibcsnap.googlecode.com/svn ?

seren · Post by **seren** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 2:37 am

I was working on the ebuilds on a production machine and using the web based interface for google was easier than committing svn

weedy · Post by **weedy** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 12:09 pm

i see. anyway to build glibc with 4.3? or is it still to early
