But, doing that will mean we're even further away from releasing 1.1.0. Also, as I said on lfs-support, I'm unhappy with the apparent signals vulnerability in the kernel with 4.3.0 [ I think 4.3.0 wasn't officially announced because of that ] and I'd prefer to wait for 4.3.1. Maybe that's just me, and anyway I've seen so many problems with 4.2 on ppc64 that I'm dubious about new minor versions of gcc.
I'm not expecting to do any clfs development any time soon, so I suppose I don't really matter one way or the other, but the current book works (apart from the binutils lib64 issue on pure64, and the evince-2.20 (yes, I'm still on an old gnome) on x86_64-64, which seems to be a gcc-4.2 problem). Knowing that 4.3.0 can produce a working reasonably-full graphical desktop (if it can) might encourage someone to put it in the book... But, last time I looked we were still promoting a vulnerable kernel, so perhaps we are in any case a long way from another release. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-dev-cross-lfs.org
