links in Matt's emails
Matt, For a long time now, links in your posts often include the full-stop (aka 'period') in the linked text - see e.g. the links in your post: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-book/2011-August/026906.html When one clicks on the links, a 404 or similar error happens, cos the '.' is interpreted as part of the url; and it kindof 'requires' manual correction - which is a pain. Happens here in Firefox, Seamonkey, and mailx .

I think this is actually a trac bug or a mailman bug rather than on Matt's end. You can see that mail is just a forward from the activity in the ticket. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2914 If you look at the links there, they are correctly ending before the trailing punctuation. However, in the generated mail (at least in the mailman archives), the punctuation has been included in the URL. One of the admins would have to hunt that down. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Yeah, it definitely looks like a bug in Trac's URL detection. I'll see if I can hunt it down, but to be honest I think Trac's in need of an upgrade anyway. In the meantime, I'll try to remember not to put punctuation directly on the end of a URL as a workaround!

GCC Pass1 Cross Compile Patch
I was trying to build a linux -> x86_64-apple-darwin10 compiler, but running into some problems. Same ones documented on our GCC-Pass1 ironically. I noticed some changes upstream at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47836 which indicates this may not be an issue in gcc 4.6.2, and we may be able to drop the patch. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) -- Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
