And then there's the thread I just read on linux-hotplug, where apparently new versions of udev are *ignoring* (not failing) uevents for firmware loading, causing kernels configured with the usermode firmware loader helper (which *defaults to yes*!) to block for 60s on every firmware request. Which means we probably want to freeze udev/systemd as well, unless we've already picked up that particular change in it, and either defaulted the usermode helper to false, or disabled it entirely. (Also, arrrrrrrgh. Feels like CADT to me, though it doesn't quite match the complaints in that particular article...) > Other than that, all I can say is congratulations on wrestling BLFS into > a releasable state; the amount of work being done on it is staggering. Yeah, agreed; BLFS is enormous. Great job!
