hi,
so the time has come, they bumped the libc version, so i added it to the 
upgrade.nop.hu/rtr-library.sh from now...
after a week starting from now, the file will be distributed as it's 
uncommented in the pre-install script:
http://upgrade.nop.hu/rtr-pre.scr after that, for a month, it'll go as is, 
and afterwards, i'll unhold
unhold the packages on the build machine, so the new binaries will be built 
against the new library...
please note that libc is a dependency to everything so on an abandoned system 
the above will upgrade
almost the whole system in one shot... as you can see the script is very 
simple, and does not take
care of the restarts after the libc upgrade, i strongly recommend to upgrade 
by hand beforehand...
thanks,
cs
