Besides, what you're calling out of date is still considered fairly untested by upstream, at least with glibc. Read the README in glibc-2.4. Even though it is released, doesn't make it a sure thing that it is stable. The glibc devs say they're still planning on releasing a 2.3.7 with bug fixes - and *that* is what it appears they consider to be most stable. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
