Looking at things from a slightly different perspective, I don't use kbd at all. kmod is pretty much a non-issue for me because I really minimize modules. Right now on my development system, none are loaded. It will load SCSI_DEBUG when running util-linux tests. Looking at gettext, the release in the book is from June. From the latest release changelog: * windows/gettext.rc: Update copyright year. * NEWS: Mention libasprintf change and Tcl bug fix. That's it. The idea of including these is that there is a low probability of the newer packages causing problems and even if there are, the impact would be small. I will update to the latest kernel. We already say in the book to do that. Those are my observations. If we need to retest, testing everything at once would be easier. All that said, I'm willing to do what we collectively think best. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
