And to expand on that: for new versions of packages we create tickets, and the changelog entry 'Fixes #1234' will be a link to the ticket. Usually the ticket lists what upstream think they changed/fixed. Sometimes there are security issues - if we know about these we might raise the severity of the ticket. For a lot of packages, upgrading from what is in 8.3 is not important - unless a fix addresses an issue important to you. And mostly, upgrading versions of dependencies is not critical (so, for example, llvm-6 is still good-enough if you have already built it). For firefox, the version of rust in the development book only gets upgraded when necessary. ĸen -- I'm saving up 22 shillings and 10 pence (almost a pound!) per week to buy an ARM-13. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/11/brexit-means-brexit.html -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
