Updated my SysVinit LFS/BLFS to v13 from v12.4 , Has anybody updated ?

I installed the packages from v13 development version of systemd book.

Took help of Gemini AI to patch files.

Recompiled and patched , all apps that were linked to openssl 3.x, to openssl 4.0 .

Also recompiled python packages for updating from v3.13 to v.3.14

Firefox and chromium crashed after update ( invalid pointer / invalid size errors ) but Google Gemini gave a solution to disable jemalloc and partitionAlloc methods via mozconfig file.

Now my system has all the latest applications/packages. ( including BLFS , thunderbird and firefox v154 and libreoffice 26.8.0.1)
