Is there any chance of arriving at some consistency? Maybe
either: "LFS
<version number> Stable Release" or, as the latest states: "LFS
<version
number> Release", for those that are not release candidates,
obviously.
That file is edited manually. As I said in my earlier message, I
updated it to include 'Stable Version'.
Yes, thanks for that, but if it is edited manually then why cannot the
original format of "LFS 8.1 Stable Release" be maintained instead of "LFS
Stable Version 8.1 Release"? To me, it's not logical and it's hard to
follow. Also, it doesn't follow the existing pattern. Doing it the new
way we now have:-
LFS Stable Version 8.1 Release
LFS 8.1-rc2 Release
Wouldn't the following be better and be in line with preceding entries:-
LFS 8.1 Stable Release
LFS 8.1-rc2 Release
I think it looks better, it scans better, it's more easily readable, and
it follows the existing pattern.
You could do something like:
$ grep 'LFS.*Release' news.html | grep -v rc | \
> sed -r 's/.*([0-9].[0-9]).*/\1/'
8.1
8.0
7.1
7.9
7.9
7.8
7.7
7.6
I could do that, but my suggestion would make that unnecessary.
You are being unreasonable. I gave you a workaround. I work hours every
day on LFS/BLFS. I can't remember to format a manually edited file
exactly the way you, and only you, want that is only changed every six
months.
Change your script.
If you really want to help, you can try synchronizing the currency scripts
that have to be updated all the time due to upstream changes. There are
only about 1000 packages in BLFS that are checked every day.
