Things will change Alexander. I'm almost finished building the helicopter. Pictures will be posted tomorrow, I ran the ship in full finished configuration and did ground run checks today. Track and balance, then hover track and full hover checks later this week. Once this ship is done, I'll have more time. With a family and day job, and then giving almost every spare moment towards the helicopter (as that project is more fun to me than BLFS at this point) simply doesn't leave any time for BLFS. I like your idea of simply making a snapshot of our SVN, and posting on the website that this snapshot is the best we have for 6.3. Then move on to target LFS Development. I agree this is the only way we'll be able to stay in touch with LFS. BLFS SVN is okay with LFS-6.3. It could be way better, but there just hasn't been the input to make it a fully versioned release. I am delinquent about contacting the sysadmin of the quantum server to get a few new guys with commit privileges. I'll do this in the next couple of days. This may help some. Those that have read this far should know that if you have any desire to help out with BLFS, and can negotiate the XML and SVN repo, you can probably help out. Contact me privately, or reply on this list if you wish to be considered for commit privileges. As Alexander pointed out, we are very stagnant. I know this, want to change it, but simply have other things going on in my life that are preventing me from doing it. Let's see if we can't pull together and pitch in to make things a bit more active. If you contact me, I'll promise to contact others to extend privileges around here. Sheesh, we are completely stagnant now, let's at least let others make/suggest some changes to get discussion/changes going on. Let's see if we can't get BLFS rolling again. LFS is steadily going forward, we must keep up. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 00:32:01 up 26 days, 5:43, 1 user, load average: 0.19, 0.05, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
