So for firefox I would guess LTS. And I'll note that checking for that version requirement can best be described as 'horrid' (damned python code). But I'm sure node was already in the book for something when I first needed it for firefox. Ahh, it was added for chromium. I assume LTS will mean less churn. ĸen -- The Laird o’Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober, Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over. -- Louis MacNeice, Bagpipe Music ----- End forwarded message ----- -- The Laird o’Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober, Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over. -- Louis MacNeice, Bagpipe Music -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
