Do you feel that it's worth that?
Nah, probably not for the book. In general, I don't mind adding stuff to /tools. After getting bent over by gcc and glibc for multiple hours, I don't see the harm in tossing one more tiny package on the heap. But, in this case, I think a note should suffice. I'll try to quantify how much missing the different packages affects the test coverage. Unless Chris has done this already. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
