You can still do that. We're planning the LFS release as normal, but the packages in BLFS should be marked as last tested in release 7.x. I believe all the packages have been tested to at least 7.0. The problem is that if we do a package freeze, there will be some significant package updates within BLFS almost immediately. If every package only released once a year, then BLFS will have 2 updates needed, on average, almost every day. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
