I wish I new, Bruce, but I haven't used glibc-2.4 at all, and I'm not
the expert there. If both glibc-2.4 and gcc-4.1.0 went in to SVN, I'd
like to see both there at least a month or two before going into
release testing. And that month or two depends on whether there are
at least a couple of experienced users really putting their systems to
the test.
Well. After thinking on this some and reading the comments posted so
far, here's my take on the situation.
First of all, check out the Roadmap for LFS:
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/roadmap
This is what I entered shortly after we got Trac set up. If you recall,
Matt agreed that it was a good target for 6.2. We're nearly done with
those goals, and we have a pretty solid trunk right now as a result.
BLFS, as has been pointed out, also generally works well with what we've
got in trunk. To add another major change to the mix now would only
prolong a release and possibly reveal a host of other issues to fix.
I'm anxious to be 'up-to-speed' as well with all the recent releases,
but in all honesty, I think at this point stability is more important.
I suggest that we focus on getting that 6.2 Milestone finished and close
out any related tickets in Trac. Once we've got that done, branch for
testing in preparation for releasing 6.2. *Then* we can get gcc-4.1 and
glibc-2.4 in trunk and work out whatever issues that may or may not bring.
