At the current rate, if we do LFS 7.0 this summer it would have to be sans package manager. However, x86_64 support (and PowerPC, for that matter) is pretty much ready to drop in. The only thing missing is the change of boot loader section and adjustments to the kernel page. It's really just a matter of forcing myself to sit down and do it. I've been getting side tracked by a lot of other things. To be current, I'd also like to see the Udev blocker sorted out before we release 7.0. See: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2057 It basically comes down to finding a solution to properly setting up persistent udev rules for NICs while in chroot. Recent versions of udev have changed their configuration such that our current method won't work. As to package management and other suggestions for changes for LFS in general, I'm currently polishing up some ideas and concepts. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
