Hello all, this is the first of hopefully a series of monthly (perhaps
weekly) messages, giving a basic summary of where things stand within
the ALFS project.
nALFS and alfs:
Currently with nALFS, potentially a new 1.2.6 release will happen due
to a recent report of some file corruption when using the
[search_replace] element, plus a fix for display of line drawing
characters when in UTF-8 mode.
alfs development seems to have stalled a bit again, but we'll see if
we can't get that hopping again. We had some good progress on the
communication protocol, we may want to see if we can work on refining
that some, as well as work on some means of authentication next.
The Profiles:
I believe the LFS profile is lagging a little behind current trunk.
The profile for CLFS is progressing, still some work to be done and
major testing on arches I don't have available for testing, mainly all
arches other than x86 and x86_64.
Now for the BLFS profile, this beast needs major work, but really we
need more hands to help with it, myself and Joachim just is not enough
anymore. This brings another question do we want to keep maintaining
this profile? BLFS is such a fast moving target it seems a bit
impossible currently. I personally would like to see it continue, but
I currently have no time to keep up with it anymore, my plate is full
enough with LFS and CLFS and I know Joachim's time is limited.
After I finish wading throught the BLFS (I've just finished building QT
and GTK+) I hope to start looking at the automated build systems.
Its too soon to tell if I'm going to be able to help with keeping the
thing up to date, but I would like to see it continue as well.
