Rumor has it that Jeremy Huntwork may have mentioned these words:
No, the 6.0 cd is pretty much "as-is". I don't intend to do any other additions or fixes to it. Sorry for the trouble. :)
I'll prolly just bundle up the patches I did and stick 'em on a webpage... Oh, and BTW - that one patch you informed me about earlier did work; it built straight through.
What I'm trying to do is make a "Stick in CD, out comes qmail server" type of project -- maybe not completely, but with all the major distros on this "Throw more hardware at it" kick, I'm trying to make a way to fairly quickly build a linux server from scratch, with all the packages I need (python, qmail, tcpserver, etc.) that I could rebuild a mail server in a fairly speedy manner and "known-working" platform to do it with.
2) At what point in time are the packages included on the 6.1-pre CDs going to be "set in stone?" When LFS 6.1 is officially released?
Basically, yes. I think once 6.1 is released, we'll do our best to release at least an 'rc' iso right away, and then release as soon as is shown to be fairly stable, the release version.
So the packages on the CD could be a bit "malleable" yet...
[ALFS] Heh, you need to join...
Joined... Notalotta activity there currently, tho...
and get involved in ALFS as well then.
It's that "get involved" part... ;-) Don't wanna spread myself too thin, now. ;-) However, it's more the "create something by committee" that I'm not accustomed to; most all of my programming experience has been lonely nites, all alone, bang on the keyboard until it works good enough for me. ;^>
We have a whole SRS devoted to a next generation build-tool (slated to be built in Python, by the way) but development hasn't even really started yet. We're a little short-handed on developers with free time.
Well, you can count me in as a helping hand...
BTW, Python isn't on the Live CD, is it? (It doesn't seem to be on the 6.1-pre2 I have here...) If not, it might not be a bad idea to include it in the next pre-release to gear up for the new ALFS tool... Just a thought.
Ah well, time to go. Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger
