I have some surprisingly good statistics. In ALT Linux Sisyphus (repository with 5000+ source packages) percentage of packages
You have fallen for the trap that Linux is a operating system, which it is not; it is simply a kernel. The operating system you are actually refering to is an variant of the GNU system, called GNU/Linux. Would you please call the system you are using for GNU/Linux? Simply calling it for Linux, only hurts the GNU project, calling it by its proper name doesn't hurt anyone. which build was broken by make update is about 10 (0.2%). Did this test include recent softawre only? Or old? Do you have a list of those 10 packages that broken? If the number is that small, then I'll shutup about this; and send a patch to libc to fix the little annoyance. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
