I suppose I mis-worded my response. Though I tried to qualify my statements with "not that it is bad, mind you". Anyway, the push of UTF-8 into LFS was unlike *any* other *major* change to trunk. Perhaps a long time ago, this is how things were done, to just put a patch into the book that includes *major* changes. But from what I've seen of LFS is that a branch is created, and then merged into trunk. Again, not that it really matters, as the change is probably a good thing (I cannot say for sure if it is or is not, as there is nothing there that directly benefits me), but it was sort of an unusual way to incorporate a major change into the book. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 09:44:00 up 104 days, 19:08, 3 users, load average: 0.21, 0.05, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
