LS,
Currently, the previous chapter 5 has been split into 3 separate
chapters. It is obvious why the new chapter 7 exists.
However, chapter 5 and 6 are a bit puzzling. There are no extra actions
between chapter 6 and 5, in fact one could argue that 5 and 6 can be
fussed together.
The only reason I can think of to explain the separation between chapter
5 and 6, is that chapter 5 provides the basic building blocks to compile
the remaining of chapter 6. Which can be reused if (some of) chapter 6
needs a rebuild. After all, the next step is a different architecture
where this approach can be used.
That said, if the compiler or glibc is chanced, one has to rebuild
chapter 5 anyhow. Looking at the packages in chapter 6, there is just
only 2x extra time involved to compile them. Especially when there is no
testing done, as was possible under the previous releases.
Maybe one could explain this a little deeper?
