Can I suggest that we consider a freeze for the 7.4 BLFS book (at some point) even with tickets outstanding ? Many of the changes look benign, but a lot of them are things I don't normally upgrade (except for known vulnerabilities). Equally, they don't look particularly important or urgent. Over the years I've seen several cases where a minor upgrade turned out to break something else, or to lose functionality. These sorts of things can take a long time to notice. So on my own systems I tend to leave things be until I'm making a fresh build, and then I try to test all the things I care about. That takes quite some time! 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
