It had been mentioned a month(s) or more ago that this was the intent. Things just got really slow while Wayne was updating GNOME. I know Wayne was building against 6.5, I just did a recent build of 6.5 and have several package updates waiting to go, but want to ensure everything works together before I commit anything. We are probably fine with your work using just above LFS-6.5, but you never know. I snipped everything else from your post, DJ, but not because I'm dismissing it. I'll try to summarize my thoughts. I am not in favor of branching. It is more work. I would go as far as saying "go ahead and update BLFS-dev using your current config, if something is broken in a backwards manner using pure LFS-6.5 (unlikely?) than we provide a fix. Let's put a 6.5 release out. I will have KDE and GNOME built shortly, I'm not as much an automated man as you with the building, because I like to examine new twists that may be in each package. If we put out a 6.5, so that LFS (general-as a whole -new user) will think there is some continuity. It won't take that long. I've got a slew of packages that can be updated, but as I said, I want to make sure it all works before I commit. If something we haven't updated, is broken in the 6.5 release, then it will be something -support will handle. Remember, we've been placing "known to build and work for LFS-6.5" messages on the package we know works. Let's do it, and blow off the branch. We'll get a quick 6.5 out and then let trunk do it's thing catching up with an LFS-6.6 build.
