Title: uClibc-ng retirement on 2022-01-01 Author: Anthony G. Basile Posted: 2021-08-18 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Profile: default/linux/uclibc/* uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since my RFC in Jan 2021, no one has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc" profiles, which will be removed on 2022-01-01. For parties interested in an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported. Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its efforts in that area.
