I'm sure we'll get to it in the future, but right now we're all busy on something and we'd prefer to fix actual bugs in those plugins than to spend some time doing the right solution for the distribution at the moment. Hi Phil,

the problem is not necessary the knowledge on how to do it, it’s purely time. I’m sure we’ll get to it in the future, but right now we’re all busy on something and we’d prefer to fix actual bugs in those plugins than to spend some time doing the right solution for the distribution at the moment.

But you could just build the all the plugins against glibc 2.3 in the first place. Creating a Debian build environment on the fly is *very* easy. Prod me if you want a guide.

You bet, we are cold heartless bastards. But in reality 90% of the people on glibc 2.3 are users that have an upgrade path to a more recent version of their distro; the other people are future Debian Etch users. I’m sure the Etch releasers have convinced themselves of the usefulness of not releasing with a glibc 2.4 that is more than 15 months old, and instead opt for an even older series, even before they actually release. But I am starting to wonder more and more who the people are that are waiting for a release like this. Realistically speaking, it is possible that we may add glibc 2.3 plugins in the future if we see that more than just Debian is affected. We are not against taking your money for giving you a service that works. But the hours in our day are just as scarce as they are in yours. I just wanted to explain this to people that want to know, to take away your incentive to complain about a nameless faceless Company being Evil to you.
