With the update to glibc 2.38, libcrypt.so.1 is no longer provided by glibc. Libcrypt is an important library for several core system packages that use cryptographic functions, including pam. The library has changed versions, and the legacy version is still available for precompiled or proprietary applications. The new version is available on Void as libxcrypt and the legacy version is libxcrypt-compat.| Void Linux
Are We Down?| Void Linux
This week we’ll be taking a look into the infrastructure that runs and operates Void. We’ll look at what we run, where it runs, and why it is setup the way it is. Overall at the end of the week you should have a better understanding of what actually makes Void happen at a mechanical level.| Void Linux
Void is a complex system, and over time we make changes to reduce this complexity, or shift it to easier to manage components. Recently through the fantastic work of one of our maintainers classabbyamp our repository sync system has been dramatically improved.| Void Linux
Happy Pythonmas! It’s October, which means it’s Python 3 update season. This year, along with the usual large set of updates for Python packages, a safety feature for pip, the Python package manager, has been activated.

Void runs a distributed team of maintainers and contributors. Making infrastructure work for any team is a confluence of goals, user experience choices, and hard requirements. Making infrastructure work for a distributed team adds on the complexity of accessing everything securely over the open internet, and doing so in a way that is still convenient and easy to setup. After all, a light switch is difficult to use is likely to lead to lights being left on.| Void Linux
