A slightly different take on this to most of the other postings, but would there be any gain, for the LFS Book, in promoting (and documenting) the use of incremental kernel updates? I'm aware that Thomas Trepl does this, even though it's not documented in his Multilib patch. The thinking would be that whilst the LFS Book development line pinned itself at a given revision, the Book would document the process whereby incremental updates were made to the kernel sources and, where any given patch-level of the kernel was thought to have beome significant enough to be needed in a LFS system, ahead of a release, that recommendation to upgrade could be made in the current Book's Errata, as well as the SVN head. Just my thr'pen'th though: probably file under "you distro: your rules", Kevin -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
