The Makefile to create the book. I've opened a ticket (#4339) on it. Note that this is more of cosmetic kind, minor inconsistence than a real bug. > Note that we always say to use the latest point version of the > kernel, > in this example 4.18.x.

See that for 4.17 the e were 18 releases in 49 days. Yes, sure. My thought was that when releasing a book version, we mark some sort of "milestone" and while we are doing that, we know that there are critical bugfixes to one of the most important packages but do not include them. Someone who is building LFS using the stable version 8.3 will miss the fixes if following the written text. Yes we note that there may be newer kernels out there and user should use them, but does it cost us really much to upgrade the kernel version until release date has come? -- Thomas -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
