Please, what is the status of BLFS systemd

Hi Sami,
We are still in development. I pretty much returned from a long
exodus, and
we are currently in the process of merging changes from trunk since we
are
extremely out of date. DJ Lucas has joined me to help.
We apologize in advance for any regressions that may occur from our
merging
procedure. After we are done merging, I will run through a complete
book
build to make sure that nothing is broken. However, if you see anything
wrong, please report it to us. We appreciate it.
Douglas, if you wait for the package freeze in about three weeks, then
you can release a stable version after checking all the packages.
Very cool!!! But as to waiting, I'm not so sure. I'm thinking that the
missing security updates, and the amount of work itself necessitates a
need to get to some of the backlog out of the way now. The plan as of now
is to go chapter by chapter comparing with trunk and accounting for
systemd specific configuration changes (similar to how we did single-file
xml years ago). I suppose it would significantly reduce the number of
back
changes to wait for package freeze though (changes that come into trunk
after we've already done the chapter). Right now, we are around 260
commits out of date (at best estimate as -systemd hasn't focused on
keeping 1:1 with trunk previously) and there are around 100 additional
packages (a rough guess based on grep -c "ENTITY" general.ent). Opinions?
DJ, I wasn't saying to delay updates to the -dev version of the book. I
was just suggesting that you should wait to do the comprehensive testing
of every package until lfs-7.9-rc1 is released and do the testing
against that.
Oh, okay. I misunderstood. Thank you.
