It's their stable branch which contains many backported bug fixes and they're not producing any more releases. Is it better to use a known buggy glibc-2.5? If glibc-2.5.1 was imminent, I'd say wait, but recent history would suggest it's not likely. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
