BLFS, like all of the LFS projects is provided by volunteers. As such, the production of a stable version of the book is dependent on the amount of time that the editors and release manager have available. Due to the massive difference in size in the respective projects, it is much easier to stabilize and release the LFS book than it is for BLFS, hence why LFS tends to have much shorter life-cycle than BLFS. > Use SVN if you are using LFS 6.4 what about LFS 6.5? The same goes for any version of LFS with a later version number than BLFS. Despite it not having a 'stable' release, I find that the instructions in BLFS work far more often than they don't, and any issues I highlight are dealt with very quickly.
