LFS-7.9-rc1 has been released. I would like to institute a slushy package freeze for BLFS. By that I mean that package updates for BLFS should be made with respect to other commits with these rules:

1.  Finish updates in Trac marked for 7.9.

2. If a new upstream package version is released and no package that has been marked as lfs79_checked is dependent on that package, then it can be updated. We do need to be careful with this if we want to update a package that has other packages depending on it. Other editors may have checked the package and just not updated the tag yet. Use this option with caution.

3. If we become aware of a critical update to a checked package, then we need to discuss it on blfs-dev and get consensus that the package should be updated before BLFS-7.9 is released.

New tickets for both LFS and BLFS will now default to 7.10.

I have added the ENTITIES needed to mark a package as lfs79_checked.
