I'd also like to squeeze in JDK-6u6 binary too. The instructions only do s/6u5/6u6 and correct md5 and download size, I just haven't ran it through all its dependents yet. It does fix a possible security vulnerability as is usual with JDK releases, so it should technically be marked as critical (and should be a very safe update). The real problem with it is, if we keep holding for every version increment, we'll never get 6.3 out the door. I can easily justify leaving it alone as the download link always points at the latest version anyway. Additionally, the older versions are not kept in an easily found place, and as history has shown, most will simply adjust the path names for the change if encountered. If a change is acceptable, it can happen after branching, so please don't hold on the branch if it is decided to update...and if it is, I could use a little help testing it against the smaller packages (or OOo if somebody needs to build it, but I'll do it too when I get to it in a few days). I'm doing full KDE and then full Gnome first. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
