    Hey Andrew!

    Are there any particular changes, new features, or bug fixes
    expected for 2.32 that you're looking forward to?

    Not really. My motivation is that for the last 20 years or so I've had an up-to-date bootable, customized, linux-gnu partition going and if I am stubborn enough I could have one going for the next 20 years. That is and has been my primary evil, demented plan and I see no good reason to stop now.

    Do you?

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Hey Andrew!

    No, it sounds fun to me actually ;)

    Surprisingly enough it has so far gone really smooth (almost finished xorg), but I am willing to bet that firefox will be a bust for now. It ALWAYS gives me trouble after upgrading gcc. The last successful firefox build was with a gcc-9.3.0/glibc-2.31 based system.

    Life is good,
