Dan's patch hasn't been committed yet, but AFAICT, it is safe. I don't use those scripts anymore. As far as releasing a new LFS, I don't know. If it were only bootscripts, I'd do an errata entry, and add a reminder to the blfs-bootscripts page. However, it seems to me that if LFS hasn't released say every (insert a responsible value here - 6?) months, if there is errata, a new tiny release should be made. It's not like it takes all that much to modify a released book from it's own svn branch--I mean all the hard work is done already. Proofreading, testing, instruction verification, test suite results, SBU timings, etc. should still be good. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
