Perhaps it's another example of "divided by a common language".
Up until about 24 hours ago (give or take), 7.4-rc1 in BLFS looked very good. There is no way I want to lose all that testing. If anything new gets picked up now, I hope it will either be by someone using LFS 7.4-rc, or else a package where the current version is still tagged for 7.3 so that repeating a 7.3 tag won't cause much likelihood of conflict. But I can't speak for what everyone else with editorial privileges is using. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
