Does it create complications if I install packages built with a newer glibc-2.10.1-2 on a system with an older glibc-2.9-7?
According to LFS they say if you chnage glibc you should rebuilt all the installed packages with the newer glibc.
Does this hold true for Arch?
Any packages in a repo should be fine. Other than that, try it. If you get errors, recompile :P
OH Yea try he says....
pacman -Syu installing stuff shutdown -r now.......... broken desktop machine :P
What is the reason exactly for using glibc 2.9-7 instead of 2.10 btw?
Actually I have not tried it yet..... I am compiling/building in a clean chroot and it has 2.10 installed there but one of my systems has 2.9-7 installed. I didn't want to break the system by installing packages built from the clean chroot w/2.10. I will upgrade the glibc to 2.10 later after I am OK with it if it happens to break something, as I need the system not to break until next month. :) Then if it breaks it will be OK.
