LFS works as it is, it calls out at the start of the book what it

If there's one thing MSB's hint *isn't*, it's proprietary. Full sources
for everything are supplied. (Most of what the hint uses is already
installed on your system.)
Not that I'm saying the hint as-is should go into the book (and as has
been said many, many times before in this discussion: *NOBODY* is saying
that!), or even that parts of it should go into the book (I haven't
decided what I think about that yet). Just that this particular reason
not to put it in -- it being supposedly proprietary -- is wrong.
(People have already also pointed out that this suggestion was *NOT*
about a package manager. It was about people learning where files were
getting put, which of them were being installed setuid root, etc., etc.)
I didn't mean propritary as in "source unavailable"
I meant it as this is a package managment technique for LFS only, no
other distro uses tihs technique.
You point on it not being about a package manager is taken - and was
taken when Jeremy said it, however people kept talking about it as an
inclusion for future developments, and I feel it appropriate to make my
thoughts on this know.
