Lower minimum required libc version for binaries #2583

Closed bauerj closed 3 years ago

bauerj commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, on my Raspberry Pi I have to compile nimbus-eth2 myself since the binaries don't work with the latest Raspbian version. The system ships glibc version 2.28-10 while the latest nimbus-eth2 binary has a minimum constraint of 2.29.

Since compiling takes a lot of time (about 15 minutes) it would be nice if the precompiled binaries could be used instead.

Describe the solution you'd like If the binaries would be compiled against an older version of libc, they would probably work just fine.

Describe alternatives you've considered Of course I could switch to e.g. Ubuntu but since most Raspberry Pi users will run Raspbian, a solution for Raspbian would be preferred.

I guess simply changing https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/stable/docker/dist/base_image/Dockerfile.arm64#L9 to FROM ubuntu:18.04 and then uploading a new base-image would work.

Done.
