So, for a package where I built, say, 2.28.2 I can go to the 2.28 directory and see if that is the latest in that series. If it isn't, I can usually - in stable [ even-second-levels ] versions - have confidence that a later version will drop in without breaking things.
For my own builds, I repeat what I said earlier - there is no obvious requirement to upgrade pkg-config to newer than 0.22, so I'll stick with an old version while it makes the build easier. 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
