Resending due to mail issue...
We are now in the final phase of finishing the 8.4 release. We are well
ahead of schedule for a Friday release.
What we have left is two tickets, libreoffice and a systemd patch
(applicable to LFS also). Doug will commit those changes as soon as his ISP
fixes his connectivity. There are also three xorg drivers to tag and Doug
tells me he will do those also.
I'm running my Xorg build (with amdgpu) at the moment, can maybe tag
that.
Excellent. That just leaves the vmware drivers that Doug is working on.
I would like to get everyone to review the books as they use them in order
to pick up little things we can fix before release.
We also may want to review the current 8.5 tickets to see if we want to
promote anything to 8.4.
For BLFS, ticket #11712 IO-Socket-SSL-2.061 (Perl Module) appears to have
fixed the test hang. If we update that, we might also want to update #11695
Test-Differences-0.65.
We also might want to update bind, mariadb, and NetworkManager since they
all have CVE fixes.
On the LFS side, we might want to update the kernel to 4.20.12, but that
isn't essential. We do say in Chapter 3 "The latest available 4.20.x
kernel version should be used, unless the errata page says otherwise."
Anything else?
In LFS there was a comment about a configure switch for man-db,
instead of my hack to just remove the systemd files. I haven't
reviewed it, but it was reported to work.
Right. I just fixed that.
