I guess that's a better place for it to go at first - like many things in the past, lzma sounds like a good idea. Whether it lives up to the hopes and expectations remains to be seen. I'm assuming that one day (shades of one of the HHGTTG episodes) there will be a new BLFs release - for the moment we seem to lack editors with sufficient time and skills. On a personal note, I'm not in a state to do development at the moment (a side effect, for me, of the statin I was briefly prescribed is intermittent lack of interest in sleep, interspersed with inability to sleep) - I know my limitations. I hope to produce an updated list of what I've been building for my desktop, with the full commands, fairly soon. I've frozen my versions (parts of gnome-2.24 and kde-4.2.2) while I tested on non-x86, so much of what I've been using is now objectively old. Meanwhile, you guys are moving on - I hope you find workarounds for all the issues gcc-4.4 will bring before I get back to development ;-) ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
