[Bf-committers] Meeting Summary May 8th 2005

[Gabriel Beloin]

No one ever complained about dependancy (to my knowledge) with my builds. I'm using gentoo, up to date. 
ie. It use glibc 2.3.5.
In a way, it's a bit on the user part to keep a up to date system. Though some distro have different level of up-to-date. I find gentoo to be the middle.
Just a though
