I understand that. > 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. I'm reverting back to 2.30.1 now, but where does it say that even-second-levels are the 'stable' versions? If seems to be well hidden. > 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. I agree that there is no obvious reason to upgrade pkg-config other than we are just trying to get to the latest versions. It was an issue for LFS, but for BLFS, I would think that anyone needing pkg-config would need glib too. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
