Upcoming glibc 2.37 update in Lunar

[Simon Chopin]

Hi folks,

As usual, we'll update glibc in the archive when the new 2.37 will come,
which should happen on Thursday, with my upload hopefully on Friday.

As a direct consequence, the autopkgtest queues will blow up, and most
arch:any packages uploaded after glibc will be stuck waiting for it to
migrate as they'll have picked up the new version symbols.

Looking at the (incomplete) changelog[0] I don't expect too much
breakage. We've done a test rebuilt of the archive back in December[1],
and I was only able to detect one build failure that seemed clearly
glibc-related, which I'm currently investigating[2].

In the mean time, you can use my PPA[3] to test your packages against a
very recent snapshot (with the exception of the armhf architecture which
is currently FTBFS).

Cheers,
Simon
