Thanks a lot, this looks quite good (sorry for the delay, it took me time to figure out every part of the process, especially since I try to patch big glibc :) A drawback is that you have to install _all_ the generated packages (eg libc6-i686 even if you run on a i586) :/ I got an issue though, but I think it is related to glibc itself: after installing the built source packages, aptitude/apt-get absolutely want to upgrade them with the binary versions: : The following packages will be upgraded: : libc6 libc6-dbg libc6-dev libc6-prof Is this normal? -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
