OK, LFS-7.5-rc1 has been released. In checking what we did in September, we never released an -rc for BLFS. Perhaps that way is better. The only thing left for LFS is to upload the build report and test logs. I'm in the middle of one last build for that. I think I've built the whole LFS system at least six times in the last couple of days. We already have one suggestion from Armin that I will probably make. It only affects testing for automake. As soon as the current run is done, I plan to start building in BLFS and tagging the pages accordingly. One thought I have about BLFS is to have a "modified freeze" on packages. If the package is marked lfs75, then don't update, but if it's still at lfs74, then there shouldn't be any problems with updating. Does that sound reasonable? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
