how to upgrade Glibc-2.8 to Glibc-2.9

guys, i wonder if there is a way to upgrade glibc-2.8 to glibc-2.9 from Mandriva 2009.0 (Errata) not 2009.1 (Alpha 1).

as you know, Mandriva just release new in several months and it's quite annoying if I want to use a software that I'm required to upgrade to new versions.

 

My current problem is that I want to install openLDAP but it requires glibc-2.9 (because glibc-2.8 has error in IPv6 iptables, you can see it here); therefore, I want to upgrade my current glibc. It would be crazy if everytime I need to install new Mandriva release in order to use the latest release of glibc.

 

I need some supports. Tks !

That's not an easy task, there are several system programs that depend on the libc libs, and all of those programs would have to be recompiled using the new glibc. I would not suggest trying to do that.

 

I have just checked and openldap-2.4.15-1 is in the official 2009.0 /media/main/backports repo if that helps you.
