Hi all, Welcome Thomas, Robert, Chris and Ken.
I'll attempt brevity: The version displayed for a package is gathered from general.ent. Instructions that refer to that version are then 'hard-coded' in the command text. For the Mozilla projects, there are many references. Firefox installation posibility: export FFVer=`grep "MOZ_CO_TAG.*=" client.mk \ | cut -d_ --output-delimiter=. -f4,5,6,7` in commands place $FFVer where we now substitute &firefox-version. That way, the instructions would copy and paste for a newer version. A convenience for the user, and less updating pressure for Editors. Of course, Firefox 3 is due soon, it should still be doable. --- David Jensen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
