I've reviewed the packages in BLFS and am starting to update them to the latest versions. It's a fairly lengthy job and the overall number of packages probably will change faster than we can get them updated.
In any case, I've been working on the chapters of the book up to 13. All the packages there have been checked and tagged as LFS-7.3 checked. The exceptions to the current packages are currently: Chapter 4 p11-kit 0.18.4 -> 0.18.5 Chapter 9 gsl 1.15 ->1.16 openobex 1.7 -> 1.7.1 Chapter 10 fontconfig 2.10.93 is a development version harfbuzz 0.9.18 -> 0.9.19 libpng 1.6.2 -> 1.6.3 librsvg 2.37.0 is a development version Chapter 11 xscreensaver 5.21 -> 5.22 Chapter 12 bluez 4.101 on hold until other apps need 5.x Chapter 13 git 1.8.3.3 -> 1.8.3.4 This has frequent updates lua 5.1.5 on hold until 5.2.x is needed nasm 2.10.07 -> 2.10.08 That's 8 packages with only minor change updates. I will next be looking at Chapters 14-19. There are only 9 packages there that need updated, but I will not be able to do nfs, cifs, or samba until I get back to my other systems to check them out. If anyone wants to take them, that would be helpful. See http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/blfs-currency.html for current status of all packages. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
