The reason for a freeze is so that everyone is testing the same things and we are checking that packages fit together and run properly. We have a couple of options here. We could make an exception for Mesa and libdrm and add those as exceptions to the freeze period. We could also push the projected freeze to mid August and the projected release to mid September. The problem with delaying is that something else is almost sure to come up. With about 700 packages in both LFS/BLFS, there are a lot of package releases all the time. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
