IMHO, BLFS-6.3 has already missed the train and thus should not be released at all (of course, with an official announcement that there will be no release). Look: the LFS book says at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter01/changelog.html: This is version 6.3 of the Linux From Scratch book, dated August 28, 2007. If this book is more than six months old, a newer and better version is probably already available. And yes - there is a book in SVN. As for tickets, I think that some cleanup is needed. As a first step, I propose to remove autofs, because it has four tickets about its bad state, which confirm that the editors don't use this package and can't maintain it: #2458 (about a woefully incorrect example and a missing overview/comparison with HAL-based methods) #2250 (about the latest upstream patches not being in the book) #2310 (about a year-old typo in the initscript) #2416 (version update) Then, remove Dillo (#2226 - dead upstream) and Links (wish by Randy if an agreement with Ag cannot be reached, see #2276 and the recent discussion on blfs-dev). -- Alexander E.
