  • if it ain't broke ...

    From Maurice Kinal@2:280/464.113 to Red Green on Sun Jan 2 22:16:20 2022
    Hey Red!

    The upgrade to x86_64-moosile-linux-gnu on the EuroPoint looks great from this angle and required no duct tape ... yet. Here are the gory details that matter;

    /lib/libc.so.6:
    GNU C Library (GNU libc) development release version 2.34.9000.

    For bug reporting instructions, please see:
    <https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html>.

    Note it is a development version and not a release. However glibc-2.35 is only a month away and, as I predicted to Benny, glibc-2.34 ended up being skipped over. In the meantime this partition will probably be the default root/boot system until then unless something ugly reveals itself. I still have the previous partition in reserve. :-)

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    2.34 is unstable in gentoo, 2.35 is not in gentoo yet

    so i am still at 2.33 stable

    it will come kernel 5.16.x with gpu optimizing before 2023 :=)

    no hope for fb0 keep showing pengiuns yet

    but atleast amdgpu is optimized in 5.16

    Hey Benny!

    2.34 is unstable in gentoo, 2.35 is not in gentoo yet

    I believe 2.34 is unstable, and 2.35 doesn't exist yet.

    so i am still at 2.33 stable

    Understood. I am in the same situation ... up to now that is. The EuroPoint doesn't require graphics or even a monitor. Also it uses i915 and is lowpower so no need for anything other than server type apps.

    it will come kernel 5.16.x with gpu optimizing before 2023 :=)

    I am betting 5.18.x will be when this branch comes together.

    no hope for fb0 keep showing pengiuns yet

    We'll get there I am sure.

    but atleast amdgpu is optimized in 5.16

    I haven't tried it yet. As of this boot;

    cat /proc/version:
    Linux version 5.15.12 (root@heatsink) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #1 SMP Sun Jan 2 17:05:58 UTC 2022

    Note that heatsink is the hostname where the EuroPoint resides.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
