I suppose that arguably my main production system is my SandyBridge i3, and for that I now only normally build stable LFS and the corresponding BLFS release (takes so long, even for only the parts I use!).
If I manage to get time (not likely now), my machine for photo editing and sound recording happens to be running svn from a few weeks before 7.10. For what I want to do there (particularly, more playing with 16-bit photos in gimp-2.9) that build is good enough. My Haswell is running 7.10. I build LFS svn and enough of BLFS (openssl, openssh, ntp, nfs, git, etc) to check it was usable when I did the updates the other week. But now it is waiting for the next Xorg server upgrade to be released. In any case, if I tag a package in BLFS for 7.10 then I ought to be running close to 7.10. But in practice I'm not going to do much at the moment - too many other problems, mostly not computer. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
