I don't mind if you take it. > Seahorse and totem are beyond me : I never managed to get gnome's > keyring working properly in recent times on systems without gdm, and > totem's many deps include libpeas which _requires_ introspection. Actually, I haven't used them before.

Can't do much else until that completes. Bad CD?

I want to wait for KDE. I'm also working on Qt-5.1.1 right now. I have noticed some issues with the Qt5 page that I'll fix at the same time. > I've also using mdadm-3.3 on my server (without the static libs, so > just 'make' is good enough for my use case) but you've got the ticket > for that. Again, if you have it basically done, take the ticket.

End user packages, e.g. postfix, goffice, are fairly painless to update because nothing depends on them. Others, like D-Bus, have a lot of packages that depend on them. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
