I wanted to apply a fix to the compressdoc script that someone sent a couple months ago, but I realized this would break the stable book. Since a copy of the script can be downloaded from anduin at http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/files/BLFS/compressdoc, I would have to make an equivalent change there. However, that's the same link that's used in the stable book. Changing the script on anduin would mean that it would be out of sync with what's on the page in stable:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/compressdoc.html In fact, the same problem has already happened with the Xorg-7.1 wget lists and md5sums files. I'd like to propose that the files repo take a similar hierarchy as the patches repo. $ tree files/ files/ `-- BLFS |-- 6.2.0 |-- stable -> 6.2.0 `-- svn In the BLFS svn repo, this would require a small change. <!ENTITY files-anduin "http://anduin.&lfs-domainname;/files/BLFS/&blfs-version;";> Bruce would have to adjust his script on anduin that pulls the files from auxfiles/ in the svn repo to the appropriate directory taking into account the version. I've CC'd Justin since the mirroring would have to take this into account and I don't know how that's handled. I would make copies of the files in files/BLFS on anduin to files/BLFS/svn. Existing links in the stable book would still point to files/BLFS, but for the next release, they would hopefully point to files/BLFS/6.3.0 or whatever. What do you guys think? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
