#2233: Linux 2.6.26.6 ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: willimm | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Why not ? My personal inclination is to upgrade across "stable" kernels, but past experience suggests even that can have problems, e.g. several 2.6.24.x kernels had problems with their headers. At a minimum, an editor should test that the whole LFS build completes, and note any new issues with the test results. In an ideal world, we would also confirm it can build itself, and build our own choices of desktop/server software against the new headers (so that we know what patches, or version upgrades, are required). Summary: even if somebody is able to pick this up immediately, it still takes considerable testing to say "this looks good enough to go in". But, thanks for raising the ticket so that people are aware of the newer version. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2233#comment:1> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
