From 6c85c5a1773d786ccdc375e34431488fbcdd88e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 12:44:17 -0400 Subject: configure: Disable building libcrypt by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We mentioned eventual dropping of libcrypt in the 2.28 NEWS. Actually put that plan in motion by first disabling building libcrypt by default. note in NEWS that the library will be dropped completely in a future release. Also add a couple of builds into build-many-glibcs.py. Signed-off-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar Reviewed-by: Andreas K.
