Tomorrow I plan on creating and releasing -rc1 for LFS and BLFS. (Armin I can do LFS-systemd version too if you agree).
Please have any planned package updates completed by 2000 GMT tomorrow or let me know if you need more time. What will happen is that I'll create a version in the svn tag directory for each book and make minor changes to reflect the -rc1 status. After commit, I'll install the appropriate html, pdf, patches, etc on the web site and make an announcement. I hope to be done about 2300 GMT tomorrow, but it may extend to a few hours later. After the announcement, devs can still update the repository as normal, but I request that no new packages be updated without discussing it on the appropriate -dev site first. The target for a -stable release is March 1st. Between Feb 15 and March 1 I predict that LFS will have about 6 new package releases and BLFS will have 40-60. We should just create tickets for them until -stable is released. For BLFS, I'd like to see updates to the packages to say "LFS 7.5 checked". I'll start building/checking right after the -rc1. If any non-editors want to participate, just send a message to blfs-dev noting what packages you've checked against the lfs-7.5-rc1 build. Changes (without updating package versions) to clarify or update instructions are OK any time prior to -stable. Please let me know if more clarification is needed. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
