No, this is for 2.5. He just uploaded it the other day. One of the major fixes in there that needs to be in the book is the first one listed in the ChangeLog. features.h exports the GLIBC_MINOR macro as 2.4. Whoops. Potentially, there could be a 2.5.1 with these fixes, but I kind of doubt it. I read on the libc-alpha list a couple months ago that Jakub Jelinek is in charge of the 2.5 branch and any release decisions will be made by him. Maybe they'll put together a 2.5.1, but recent history would suggest they'll just roll along to 2.6. Ulrich Drepper said on the same list that these releases are following Fedora's release schedule. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
