Re: [Devil-linux-develop] something that might be useful to update our LFS system

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

I think this is a great idea.

Even better, get is build area and compile it yourselves, once.  Then I can use
your packages to update eLSD and build SOY/Sprout.

You could give back to this developer suggestions from the user world of DL.

Compiling for yourself has always been the rule for security applications plus
I have earlier suggested gcc updates to help w/ the buffer overflow problems.  

Scanning the security alerts, I see normal commands as being listed as security
holes.
