 These will be symlinks to conglomeration and all the packages are there.

I'm going to push these to trunk now and merge it back to 6.3.

Does anyone have any objections if I remove the 2/dev/null above and

The changelog mentions the linux upgrade as 2.6.22.1 not 2.6.22.2. Also, the 
shadow package links have never worked for me (two or three weeks of random 
checks); Is it possible to replace the link? I'm not sure what the protocol 
is on linking to another project's site, but I can provide a working link if 
requested.

Good catch. I think that was just a c-n-p error. Fixing.

Yeah, that site is gone. In BLFS we're using this:

http://cross-lfs.org/files/packages/svn/shadow-4.0.18.1.tar.bz2

There are plenty of places we can put it on one of the LFS servers.
downloads.linuxfromscratch.org seems like as good a place as any.
Let's see what the other editors say.

I put that there, and I now think it should be changed. If CLFS
updates their version of Shadow, that link is likely to go away.

I'll wait for Dan to fix LFS, and I'll just put whatever he uses in
the BLFS book. CC'd BLFS-dev as a reminder to do it.

Well, I was putting out feelers as much as anything. I don't know what
the right place to host it is. In BLFS, we often use the little file
repo on anduin, but we don't have a similar setup for LFS. I think
downloads would probably be a good place, though, since shadow is
shared across both books.

Why not to use one of the FTP mirrors URL's? For example the one used by

Right, but where is that mirroring from? The canonical download
address comes from the LFS book and is picked up in the anduin sources
repo. You can't mirror yourself.

Here's a link, but I'm not sure how long it would be valid for.
http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/linux/src/shadow-4.0.18.1.tar.gz/

Additionally, as you said, we can always find a home on Anduin.

If we can't find the developer's canonical location, I'd really prefer
anduin where we have complete control.  For shadow, it is already there.

Sounds good, the lfs package repo won't be having that file be removed 
for years, I still even have 6.0 packages in the rsync repo, so any 
stable mirror of lfs such as anduin should be fine.  lfs-matrix.net is 
my mirror and has been around for a while (not sure how long, haven't 
kept track) and I have no plans of stopping mirroring.

Yes, with a minor path change.  Lets use:

LFS-6.3-rc2 has been generated

2007-08-12 Thread Bruce Dubbs
The web site has been updated too, but the release announcement has not
yet been sent.

  http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.3-rc2/

The only outstanding issue before 6.3 final that I know about is to
finish getting the acknowledgments page updated properly.

Are there any last minute updates I need to make before sending the -rc2
release announcement?
