For the moment, maybe not. I'll take a little time to close things that people *have* fixed. One of the main problems with this backlog is that many of the newer versions specified as fixes are themselves outdated. I don't see myself doing a lot of package updates until I've completed my "normal" desktop build - I want to try current gnome versions of the subset I build, even if the book isn't ready for that at the moment. Identifying the likely dependencies is going to take me some time. Might do some AV stuff after I've got that far, depending how hard the gtk3 versions turn out to be :) 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
