The idea is that in roughly 2 weeks we'll release 6.1. So, can everyone please hammer this one to death and report all problems to this list and preferably also to bugzilla so we can keep track of them.
Two issues I've seen so far:
1) The URL for less may not be right. Less-382 is not available at http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/download.html -- I Googled and found it at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/less/ instead.
Less-381 was available at greenwoodsoftware.com, just not 382.
2) The note in section 5.1 about patches may be correct, but it doesn't match what I usually do. The sentences in question:
Warning messages about /offset/ or /fuzz/ may also be encountered when applying a patch. Do not worry about these warnings, as the patch was still successfully applied.
I usually ignore warnings about offsets (offsets just mean the patch's context has moved), but I try to fix warnings about fuzz (which means patch had to actually *discard* some lines of context to find a match). I had one bad experience with a kernel patch that applied with fuzz a long time ago -- the patched kernel failed to compile. Maybe I'm the only one, but I thought I'd mention it.
If I run into other issues, I'll post them then. I've just finished compiling binutils pass 1 (yes, by hand, I have a whole weekend ;-) ).
