It's not easy. I have custom scripts that basically address each package. Sometimes upstream blocks directory listings completely. Sometimes you get into a situation where odd releases are stable and even development or vice versa. You can look at http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/lfs-latest-files.phps but that is just an example and slightly out of date. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
