A number of bugs have been found in version 2.4 of jhalfs: - Not all downloaded files were saved when "Retrieve source files" was selected with "add blfs-tool support". - Wrong path to the LFS book when "Rebuild the Makefile" was selected - Bootscripts/Systemd-units for BLFS did not respect the BUILD_DIR and SRC_DIR variables - Arguments to xsltproc --stringparam were sometimes unquoted bash variables, which could lead to weird behaviors if the variable was empty - the date of the SBU/DU file was sometimes not the same as the date reported by jhalfs at the end of the run - Package management had been made incompatible with SBU/sizes computations, because it included the packaging times and sizes
All those should be corrected now in the 2.4 branch (svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/ALFS/jhalfs/branches/2.4), but some new bugs may have been introduced, or some old bugs may show up. So, please, could you test this branch? I think prereleases for a bug fix release may not be necessary.
