With the release of BLFS-6.0, the ALFS Team is proud to announce the first test release of the ALFS profile to accompany it. This profile is still considered very much beta, as it has not the widespread testing that it's LFS counterparts have had. It can be downloaded from the usual locations (/alfs/downloads/profiles/blfs/test/profile-BLFS-6.0-test1.tar.bz2).
Please do test this profile, try to break it if possible and help us make it better.
All comments, questions and discussion of this profile should be directed to the alfs-discuss mailing list.
Well, first comment: I think this ^^^^^ announcement should be put on the website. I'll forward it to lfs.website if no one is against that.
Also: everyone, please use this profile as much as possible. It's not because we consider it very much beta that it's unusable. In fact, I've built a basic GNOME with it without any problems. It does md5-checking, it has a script that downloads the packages you need, it's quite configurable,... Nothing should stop you from testing it, I guess. :-)
We'd really appreciate all bugreports, failures, successes and other kinds of input we get.
