[Clfs-dev] Building Multi-lib With More Recent Packages

[Dan McGhee]

Although I built a multi-lib last year using the svn version, I didn't 
go very far with any CBLFS packages.  I decided it was time for another 
build and noticed that some of the packages in SVN aren't as recent as 
some I've been using.  A good example is GRUB.

I would be happy to try to build newer packages--like the ones in LFS 
SVN--and post relative success to this list.  I can follow directions 
really well and muddle through a makefile to find problems.  Is there 
anything to testing these packages other than getting them to build?  Do 
you have a hint or a HOWTO on testing these packages.  Like I said, I'd 
be more than happy to do this.  I just don't know what the definition of 
"successfully tested" is.

Thanks,
Dan
