At least for BLFS and possibly for LFS I would like to see two packages: 1. A clean header implementation 2. An addendum or patch to add compatibility. The only way the packages will be fixed is to complain upstream. Otherwise, poor programming practices will continue to be propagated. I'd rather have a clean set of headers and instructions with a patch or sed to fix the offending packages in BLFS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
