Greetings,
Only a couple weeks away from release.
The package freeze is here and I've pulled in some of the last
updates.
I do not think we are missing any critical updates. During a
package freeze, we may update packages or patches or add/remove
packages/patches based on issues or last minute features, or some
other reason when brought up via support channels. If an update
reduces the book commands or makes installing a package a bit
easier than complicated commands, that may be of interest to
update, as well.
Happy testing and editing the book text.
If you need a trac account, contact any of the developers via IRC
or the mailing list.
Please use the ticket system if finding an issue as some of us are
quite busy this time of year and following the mailing list can be
tedious and having a ticket system helps us prioritize and fix
issues and make sure all issues are closed for release.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
All is well so far.
Books that could use some testing are sparc, sparc64, all mips, and
alpha (but we may remove alpha).
x86, and x86_64 multilib and pure64 have been tested
ppc and ppc64 pure64 have been tested. Multilib I may do later. I
know it works from previous builds. Test results should be similar
to ppc and ppc64.
Jonathan is attempting a sparc build.
I'll update trac tickets for the builds I have done.
Testsuite logs are here: http://cross-lfs.org/testsuite-logs/git/
Sincerely,

Jonathan, the release manager, and I, have discussed our current
schedule. Due to inadequate testing, we are waiting till the 20th for
release. This will let us add some needed patches for ppc and sparc
boot loaders and complete testing of sparc64 and sparc 32bit. Anyone
working with mips can help out, too. Alpha seems to be a done for.
Probably remove that from the book. Although the xml will always be
there for others to clone with git and render and test on their own.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
