Monitor the lists for a while and you'll see that lots of people are still building stable even though that still has gcc-3. Besides, why add months more to a release date by sticking in new toolchain versions just now? We know trunk is pretty stable as it is right now - it's been tested and tested. We release that, get it out the door, then we put gcc-4.1 and glibc-2.4 in trunk and start testing that. People who want the latest and greatest can build trunk. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
