Hi,
I am reading the BLFS errata for the stable sysv version and I was
wondering if, when following the instructions for the development
book, would I need to install the updated recommended dependencies as
well?
For example, for Firefox it gives a note that without the
recommended dependencies, it will use out of date or packages with
security holdes. So, for Firefox, would I not only install the updated
version as well as the updated recommended dependencies?
Hi Bud,
For the most part, I'd suggest upgrading the recommended dependencies as
well. It primarily depends on whether your existing versions work or
not. We don't normally test building newer versions of packages against
older dependencies, only the ones in the development book.
Ken probably has some better input/advice :)
