That's really my point. It's a rolling release and we don't identify when the .md5 files are updated without a download and diff. An increment number is not strictly necessary, but a version number like 20120621 would work as well as a index number. The .md5 files are a BLFS construct, and I think we need some mechanism to identify when the contents change. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
