Thank you for your very fine and detailed message about the issue. Yes, go ahead and leave it commented out for now. If it is determined that the 2.9.7 version works without issues on an LFS-6.3 platform, then we'll probably end up uncommenting it and mirroring it on Anduin. We have a spot on Anduin which supports hosting source packages that is not reliant on the rsync method from Justin K.'s server. We can use that. We can no longer count on the rsync mirroring to work as it has been more than 3 months (best as I can tell) since there's been updates (not sure if it is because Justin hasn't been updating or if the Anduin rsync is not working, either way though, it appears it is not reliable). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [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] 11:43:00 up 29 days, 2:31, 1 user, load average: 0.26, 0.16, 0.26 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
