glibc+sysenter sources..?

glibc+sysenter sources..?

[Disconnect]

I found the binaries (ftp://people.redhat.com/drepper/glibc/2.3.1-25/)
but the sources don't seem to be available.  (That makes it hard to
test, since my 2.5 system is running debian..)

Preferable would be a patch against the standard 2.3.1 (rather than one
against the redhat sources) but I can probably detangle it if needed.

Also, has this been tested under SMP or am I forging new ground? (dual
ppro 200 system under 2.5.66-bk10.)

Just get a recent version of glibc.  2.3.2 includes the patches, I
think.  That'll be in Debian/unstable in another week or so I bet.

Probably, but I'm running testing (I like it to at least -mostly- work
;) ..) and still would prefer the 2.3.1 patches.  (Among other things,
its easier to test changes if you do them in small batches; a libc
upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 is hardly 'small'. And the 2.3.2 changelog
doesn't mention sysenter specifically, although I haven't read it in 
detail to see if its mentioned obliquely.)

Since the binaries are being distributed there, I had expected to find
sources in the same place.. or at least -somewhere-..

Try here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/

That would be the sources to the original 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 (depending).
That would -not- be the sources to
ftp://people.redhat.com/drepper/glibc/2.3.1-25/*.rpm, which is a
derivative version.  Shall we play the GPL game? The bins were
distribute to me (they're sitting on the machine in question) with no
sources available.  

C'mon people, enough with the obvious/troll/etc .. if you don't have the
source or patches used to generate those bins (and you don't know where
to get them) then its a safe bet that I'm not talking to you....

(And fwiw, I did find parts of them by spending a few hours curled up
with the glibc cvs list archive, changelog, etc. But - as has been noted
in the various B*K* flamewars - cvs does a really horrid job of
changeset management.. its even more entertaining when you try to use
cvsweb to extact them..)
