For your information, my current system was built several days ago (more than 900 source packages) using LFS-SVN 20130711 as a base (no toolchain changes). Only major change that happened was Bison 3.0 which I've heard breaks Mesa build which I haven't updated yet. Only newer thing that I use is Linux Kernel which is at 3.11-rc4 here since Radeon power management landed there. I can tag lot of packages for LFS 7.4 (the current svn) since I haven't noticed any serious issues out there. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
