I agree totally. The commit Jim made is confusing. The log says "Hotplug updates", yet many other packages were updated, including Findutils. But the ChangeLog doesn't even mention Findutils. This makes it impossible to keep abreast, without closely examining each commit, or rereading the book, both of which should be unnecessary. I like the idea of one package update per commit. It wouldn't be so bad if even the ChangeLog was kept up. But an oversight like this (omitting the Findutils update) and a too-brief log message on the commit, makes it very difficult to keep up. Perhaps this would be a good policy for BLFS, as well. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:02:01 up 8 days, 23:06, 5 users, load average: 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
