Later Versions

I was reading one of the mailings about stable and unstable versions... You know, in almost five years of doing this LFS stuff, I have never once actually NEEDED a later version of an LFS package. OK, when it arrived, the improvements were sometimes good, but I was never actually waiting for it.

2006-01-07 Thread Richard A Downing
I noticed that this switch is in the LFS book for BerkyDB, I haven't built that for some time (when something says it needs a DB that I'm testing). Does Man-DB need this? I'm amazed if it does - the rationale for using it is that it's maintained and modern and handles all sorts of UTF-8 stuff. An
