I think you misunderstood my intention. I wasn't talking about implementing a full wiki, or replacing the current website. What I wanted to do was *add* some sort of framework or form, or something that will allow *editors* to quickly and easily add news items. The news items would then be dropped onto the current pages, much like the svn logs are done already.

This is some of the most refreshing words I've heard in a long time, and would do wonders for the project. Jeremy, thank you for saying it. I feel guilty because I don't update the BLFS web site more often. (haven't even announced Ag's acceptance of an Editor's role, now that I think about it). Think Google.

In BLFS, we often use the little file repo on anduin, but we don't have a similar setup for LFS.

I just found something I'd like changed in the bootscripts. A while
back, I started removing 2>/dev/null redirection since it hides
messages for errors.
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/changeset/8167
I just hit one I missed in checkfs. We currently have
fsck ${options} -a -A -C -T 2>/dev/null
Which conveniently hid the info the I had a LABEL wrong in fstab.
Instead I was dumped directly into "There's an unrecoverable error,
we're halting" and was really worried my disk was failing. Once I
commented out 2>/dev/null, it was clear what the problem was.
Does anyone have any objections if I remove the 2>/dev/null above and
regenerate the bootscripts?

Development on jhalfs continues via Manuel and George B. (who, btw, isn't mentioned), but not sure if that's necessary for the actual LFS book. In fact the actual ALFS project is a little unorganized, I think. BTW, you mention some CLFS developers, but not all. And some BLFS devs, but not all. What is the prereq. for getting mentioned?

This isn't and should never be a showstopper for LFS. Since its inception as a project, the LiveCD always _followed_ LFS releases. People who follow development of LFS should be aware that a stable LiveCD based on the just-released LFS book will be available in the near future. If your goal is to avoid requests for support based on using the wrong CD or people looking for a CD that doesn't exist, I have a couple of suggestions: * Request that the LFS release announcement mention that a stable CD will be released shortly. * Recruit more LiveCD developers/maintainers -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Perhaps there's something that he's contributed directly to LFS, but as far as the Patches project goes, he doesn't even update the repo with patches he puts in his own CLFS patches repo. Surely, we can't call him Patches Project Manager any longer. Or even affiliated with it for that matter. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 20:30:00 up 9 days, 20:21, 1 user, load average: 0.37, 0.26, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

You'll just have to fix up all the other commits, too. Let's just keep this release moving.
