Not to mention that fixing a security vulnerability in, say, libm or libc becomes an amount of work equivalent to a distribution upgrade with all the associated risks.
Or am I the only one who has occasional problems when replacing all the binaries on my system?
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoThat sounds like a separate issue; normally, having to do a full dist upgrade means that you changed versions of lots of core components (kernel, init, libc, gcc), which is indeed traumatic. If you replace every binary but the only change is bumping the statically-linked libc from x.y.0 to x.y.1, it should be just as boring as making the same change with a dynamically-linked libc.
