There is a release script and a release checklist for each book.


Shouldn't matter who released the book. The release will fall upon
the team. Just an idea as a team effort is ideal.
That's true, but there are several manual steps that need to be 
accomplished, even with a script for generating the books and putting 
them in place.

Less human error and others can release outside of your presence.

No good reason.  The books originally were released by different people. 
 I do it now and just continued what was used in previous versions.

[lfs-dev] LFS and BLFS Version 8.2 are released

2018-03-02 Thread Bruce Dubbs
The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of LFS 
Version 8.2, LFS Version 8.2 (systemd), BLFS Version 8.2, and BLFS Version 
8.2 (systemd).


This release is a major update to both LFS and BLFS.

The LFS release includes updates to glibc-2.27, binutils-2.30, and 
gcc-7.3.0. In addition five new packages have been moved to the base LFS 
book from BLFS: libffi, openssl, Python3, ninja, and meson.  Changes to 
text have been made throughout the book. The Linux kernel has also been 
updated to version 4.15.3.


The BLFS version includes approximately 900 packages beyond the base Linux 
From Scratch Version 8.2 book. This release has 813 updates from the 
previous version in addition to numerous text and formatting changes.


Thanks for this release goes to many contributors.  Notably:

DJ Lucas
Pierre Labastie
Ken Moffat
Thomas Trepl


You can read the books online[0]-[3], or download[4]-[7] to read locally.

Please direct any comments about this release to the LFS development
team at lfs-...@linuxfromscratch.org or blfs-...@linuxfromscratch.org. 
Registration for the mailing lists is required to avoid junk email.
