4-6 months seems to be a bit long, but I agree with the rest of the comments. A couple of weeks would probably be OK, but removing, if that decision is made, should be done by commenting out the reference in the parent xml code to facilitate easy replacement. If there are no issues after 4-6 months, then a full deletion would be ok. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
