I think almost everybody ignores tests. Surely a bigger question is "why use such an old version?". I don't pay a lot of attention to vulnerabilities in sudo (user ken tends to be as dangerous as root in trashing my systems :) but I think I remember at least some "corner cases". If you are installing a non-DE non-toolkit package then you should be fine to use the current version. For tests, I'm sure that they passed for whoever commited that version to one of the books. But I've seen so-many oddities in tests that I normally do not run them. For a *very few* packages I run tests in my normal builds. If you are familiar with a particular package, and its tests currently work for you, and you want to contribute bug reports to upstream, then please disregard the above (apart from starting with the current version). ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
