It isn't a typo. I only updated the core GNOME packages on my initial update. Since then, I've updated the system-tools-backends package. I suggest that you svn update and render every few minutes if you want to see current progress. Updating GNOME is a significant endeavor. Unlike anything else in BLFS. I cannot do it all at once. The way I've done it, since I started updating GNOME after the 2.6 version is that I update the core packages all at once and then update the add-on packages as I go. Many of them I've already installed and will go quickly, such as the system-tools-backends package which has already been updated. This process will take about a week. Sorry if this confuses you. But it is the only way I can make it happen. You see, there are just so many packages that if I had to wait until I have all the data for the core *and* the add-on packages before I started updating, then I would never get it done. Doing it this way, leaving some of the add-on packages in limbo, forces me to keep at it. This is a boring task. I like the challenge of finding out what changes there are, and how the build order has changed, I don't like updating the gazillion package instructions. Leaving it sort of undone makes me keep going because I know it is somewhat screwed up. Hope this makes sense to you. And, svn update and render very frequently if you want current updates. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 00:12:59 up 16 days, 8:37, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 0.94, 0.57 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
