I'd say so, too. It turns out that there was a lot more package updates this time that have no changes to the source. A lot of the packages just have an autotools fix to generate the changelog from git better. But, yeah, I don't want to be checking for individual releases all the time. Maybe we should just have an Xorg-current megaticket open at all times where people can note updated patchlevel packages. This would be different than, say, an Xorg-7.2 ticket when that becomes available. Then someone could just swoop in and wipe out a bunch of the patchlevel updates at once and clean up the megaticket. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
