One is because I did not update the copyright date (I ignored that, along with added documentation for past releases etc, and along with the many places where the version is hardcoded). Not sure about the other two, so deferring.
Concentrating now on trying to update glibc (one CVE, one "assert on invocation rather than segfault on exit", one "regression - slowness in string operations - in certain haswells" which might affect mine : the change implies new firmware might make the fix irrelevant, but the problem was seen even in fedora. Still testing (only having 4GB for /tmp, and filling that up with past builds and DESTDIRs, blew out my first attempt), but I've dusted off my "upgrade glibc" script in the hope this will work. Maintenance is fun, isn't it. ĸen -- I'm saving up 22 shillings and 10 pence (almost a pound!) per week to buy an ARM-13. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/11/brexit-means-brexit.html -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
