is it a wise decision to use upgrade to 5.0 for the 7.3 release? as far i can understand there are no security issues with 4.13a but as i can see from google there are quite some compatibilty issues in different packages with 5.0 (coreutils, gcc, wget, qemu, docbook...)
i prefer to keep the 4.13a until more packages are ready for 5.0. otherwise blfs has to add quite a bunch of texinfo patches. for the kernel i'd like to see the 3.8 branch in lfs 7.3, as 3.7 won't be a LTS kernel. i just finished a complete 7.3rc build (including xfce, mozilla, gimp, libreoffice, qemu) with kernel 3.8 without any issues (with texinfo 4.13a, not 5.0). ubuntu 13.04 will probably use 3.8 - i assume the 3.8 will be supported much longer than 3.7 tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
