Re: glibc 2.34 is coming to impish tomorrow

Unfortunately, a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1942276) meant that I've had to upload glibc again. This will trigger all the tests in the world again, but I believe it's both possible and reasonable to not actually run all these tests. We should definitely run a subset, like letting a random 10% of the tests run would make sense to me, although I don't know how to do that . Hopefully someone else does :)

So glibc 2.34 is now in impish proposed and all the autopkgtests have run. I've started a discourse thread to coordinate handling the fallout: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/migrating-glibc-2-34/23749

Hi everyone,

This is just a bit of advance notice that we'll be uploading the new release of glibc, 2.34, to impish in about 24 hours and are hoping we can get it migrated before feature freeze next week. So expect autopkgtest queues to be a bit clogged for a while.

As Matthias mailed yesterday we have done a test rebuild with the new glibc and while it causes a few build failures we're working through there is no evidence of trouble running existing binaries so hopefully the new version won't be too disruptive. But finding that out is what all those autopkgtests are for :-)
