This subject has been broken into thwo threads so I reply in this one: So, yes, I would like to have updated packages because of the possibility of security bugs. I remember there was a bug in glibc when I gave up LFS, because I didn't want to rebuild everything... I'm using gentoo and I thought updating LFS similar to it, as gentoo also doing it on-the-fly, though I don't know its internal working... And don't forget the learning experience of updating a full system:) Oh, yes, I can remember that I was reading mailing lists and security pages like a mad to find out what to update:) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
