Now that I've been bitten by this, I think it's a real PITA. Just pulled down what was the current book, and ran make before I had a go at updating. Unsurprisingly, there were no issues (on another book I've been bitten in the past). I then updated the changelog and cups (newer security_fixes patch). [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/repos/BLFS $vim introduction/welcome/changelog.xml pst/printing/cups.xml 2 files to edit [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/repos/BLFS $make make: Nothing to be done for `blfs'. And yes, I remembered this discussion, and running 'make clean' allowed me to then make the book, but it's just another aggravation. Creating the book does take too long, but this change made it even longer. Whether I would remember 'make clean' if I had the same situation in a month's time is unlikely. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
