I'm trying to understand the logic behind the uclibc recipes, it seems it is using fairly random points in history of git master and not the 0.9.33 point releases that have been made.

What is the logic behind that and why not use the upstream release builds as a starting point?

Thanks,
Brendan

last uclibc release has been long time ago. We need newer features especially for systemd to work.
are you seeing some issues with what we have ? and its always top of master. We pick a master version
and then stabilize it to whatever we can. btw. uclibc master does not move at a faster pace where it breaks often
so its ok to use it.
