The 5.0.1 release should only be security errata and will be built against the 5.0.0 glibc and libraries. The 5.1.0 release will be product upgrades and security errata. New security errata for the 5.1.x tree will be built against the 5.1.0 updated glibc/kernel/etc. The API's shouldnt change but I am guessing there might be some ABI issues. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
