As Michael had warned, there were a huge number of packages that needed to have their rootfiles updated to reflect the change in version number that is in the directory path for many files. I have installed the iso, that resulted from my build, into my vm testbed and everything that I tested worked fine with no hiccups. Next thing I will do is the commits for each changed package. My understanding is that for the common packages I only need to provide the changed rootfile in the patch but for the addons I have to update the PAK_VER number if the rootfile has changed so they will have a combination of lfs and rootfile in the patch. I will make the perl change into a series of patches, the primary one for perl and each other package will have its own patch. This will mean that I will be sending a huge number of patches in to patchwork later today/tomorrow. If I should be doing this another way, because of the large number of packages in the series, let me know what I should do differently. Regards, Adolf. -- Sent from my laptop --===============6650527225849837400==--
