std.Target: update default Linux cross-compiling version#17628
Conversation
Currently, Zig uses the oldest Debian release that is still under LTS for the default version minimum. This is now Debian 10 (Buster), with long-term support until 2024-06-30. Debian Buster uses Linux 4.19 and glibc 2.28. For the default version maximum, Zig uses the newest stable Linux version, which is currently 6.5.7.

LGTM. Maybe worth adding the description about how to compute these values ("oldest Debian LTS release", etc) as a comment here? |
