Hi William,

The method you described works fine, in about half an hour I've narrowed down 
my search to about 40 revisions, and I've rebuilt a book which I believe is 
close enough. Plus I learned about the wiki and svn :-)

Thanks a lot !
Joao

I had built an LFS 7.1 system some time ago, then started working with blfs, 
but I don't remember the version number. Then I lost both the LFS and BLFS 
books I had downloaded, through a stupid accident with my files. Now I've 
managed to find the LFS 7.1 book again, but how/where can I find the same 
version of blfs, to be sure that the package versions are consistent ?

Look for the revision which had your versions by looking at the revision log of 
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/browser/trunk/BOOK/general.ent and find 
the revision which had your versions before they were updated. 


Then you can use subversion and checkout the book at that revision and then 
render the book with your host. 


Look at older revisions or download the BLFS book: 


svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK 


Then view the revision log: 


svn log | grep dhcpcd -B 2 (when looking when dhcpcd was updated or libnl or 
which or wireless_tools or wpa_supplicant.) 


It'll get you close. At any time you find the revision you want, you can enter 
that revision to view at the wiki and browse the source and see if that 
revision has the versions you need in general.ent. 


There may be easier ways for this, though. 




Sincerely, 


William Harrington
