-* Updating a package's version
-
-Follow these steps in order to change a package (for example when you tested 
-a newer version and want to include it in the book). Let's assume you're
-upgrading to bash-2.05.
-
-1) Download bash-2.05 to the linuxfromscratch.org server in the 
-/home/ftp/conglomeration directory. If the file isn't compressed with bzip2, 
-but with gzip for example, ungzip it, then bzip2 it.
-
-2) Enter the /home/ftp/cvs directory.
-
-3) Remove the symlink that points to the previous version of the
-package.
-
-4) You can remove the real file from the /home/ftp/conglomeration
-directory only is you are absolutely sure that there are no other books
-currently online that use that package version. If you don't remember
-which book versions are online right now, check the LFS website.
-
-5) Make a new symlink by running the following command:
-ln -s ../conglomeration/bash-2.05.tar.bz2
-
-6) Obtain the file size of the new package (run ls -l
-/home/ftp/conglomeration/packagename). Divide this number by 1024 and
-remember the result.
-
-7) Enter the /home/ftp directory and create a new lfs-packages tarball.
-If today is June 11th, 2001 1:09 PM, run the following:
-tar cvfh lfs-packages-cvs-20010611-1309.tar cvs
-mv lfs-packages-cvs-20010611-1309.tar cvs
-(use the current date and time on the LFS server, not your local time if
-it differs)
-
-The reason for adding the hour and minute is that one may end up
-creating more than one tarball a day and it's easier this way to find
-out which packages file was being used in case there are a lot of
-updates.
-
-8) Obtain the file size of the newly created tarball by running ls -l,
-divide the number by 1024 and remeber the result.
-
-9) Open the index.xml file.
-
-10) At the bottom of the file find the ENTITY that belongs to the package. 
-You'll find it as <!ENTITY package-version "version">. Change the 
-bash-version entity as follows: <!ENTITY bash-version "2.05">
-
-11) Edit the <!ENTITY all-version> entity and update the file name to
-match the name of the tarball you just created.
-
-12) Edit the <!ENTITY all-version> entity and update the file name to
-match the name of the new tarball you just created.
-
-13) Open the chapter3/bash.xml file.
-
-14) Enter the new size that you calculated in step 6.
-
-15) Open the chapter3/all.xml file.
-
-16) Update the file size to match the value you calculated in step 8.
-
-17) Open the chapter3/packages.xml file, scroll to the bottom of the
-file and enter the same size as you entered in the previous step. Also
-divide this number by 1024 and enter the result as the MB value between
-brackets.
-
-18) Open chapter1/changelog.xml and add the package to the list.
-
-Please don't use the "du -h" command to obtain the file size. The result
-of du is not acurate enough (it doesn't report the actual file size, but
-the size of clusters the file is using).
-
-If you are updating more than one package at the same time, don't
-re-create the tarball every time. Just update all the symlinks and
-create a new tarball once that includes all your updated packages.
