Randy has placed Wednesday, Feb. 14th as the release date for BLFS-6.2.0. I'd like to ask people to take a little time to review the book and look for any changes that can improve the book before release. I've created a new ticket #2242[1] to collect any small issues. Patches are welcomed.

As i said before .. perfect for the SVN blfs ... but I was NOT talking about blfs-SVN. This page is from the blfs-6.2.0rc2 book: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.2.0-rc2/general/mc.html however this is all very theoretical .. Alexander already replied to the Wiki report I put in

Proposal: Add new entities for external URLs

[from blfs-book] Bruce Dubbs wrote these words on 02/13/07 11:37 CST: Just an idea. Perhaps we should create another entities file, externals.ent that defines all the external references and then use the entities in the book. This would give us a nice single location for all externals

Consolidated Tickets in Trac

Hi all, Sorry to be a stick-in-the-mud, and perhaps it's just me, but I don't like this lump everything in one ticket idea (using the BLFS-6.2.0 Text Changes ticket as an example). I find it difficult (if not impossible) to figure out: 1. What has been taken care of? 2. What is still under
