I've just updated the last of my packages.  The only three left are:

general/sysutils/at.xml
general/sysutils/autofs.xml
xsoft/office/libreoffice.xml
All done at r14367 (libreoffice on behalf of Ken).
and Pierre is working on those (and Ken said he has checked libreoffice).

What I'd like to do now is to get input about two things:

1.  Does anyone want to nominate any tickets that are specified for
milestone 7.7 for moving to 7.6?  #5531 and #5542 look like candidates.

2.  Are there any other issues that need to be addressed before
releasing -stable?

   I think LFS-7.6 is ready.
   Armin, is LFS-7.6 systemd ready?
   Christopher, how about the blfs systemd branch?

I'd like to release all four at the same time if possible.

Bruce, you forgot to check cheese (it is only "built").

The problems:

LXDM

SQLite-Tcl

yelp-xsl

gnome-nettools (ip not working)

are going to be addressed before 7.6, of after?

I realized that p7zip uncompress as other user/group, apparently if
uncompressing user is root. Is this a problem to be solved  with
something such as --no-same-user?

Hello,

The switch is --no-overwrite-dir, but I would say that the answer
is no:

- The page "Note on building software" has:
"The golden rule of Unix System Administration is to use your
superpowers only when necessary. Hence, BLFS recommends
that you build software as an unprivileged user and only
become the |root| user when installing the software. This
philosophy is followed in all the packages in this book. Unless
otherwise specified, all instructions should be executed as an
unprivileged user. The book will advise you on instructions
that need |root| privileges."

So I do not think we should care about people unpacking and /or
building as "root": they have been warned...

- Also, there is on the same page:
"While you can keep the source files anywhere you like, we assume
that you have unpacked the package and changed into the directory
created by the unpacking process (the 'build' directory). We also
assume you have uncompressed any required patches and they
are in the directory immediately above the 'build' directory."

So if we put instructions on the page, which suppose that you have not
yet unpacked (as would be the use of that switch), it is against that
general principle and should be at least properly advertised.

Regards,
Pierre
