I'm about to start merging Wayne's work. For the packages I've already built, I'll add measurements, descriptions, and whatever else I think is necessary. For the remainder, I'll only be able to add descriptions.
As far as I can see, this should NOT interfere with other updates. But, it's possible that you may come across links I've had to comment to get the book to render - these will probably have something like FIXME:ken in the comment. And once I've committed a package, feel free to add missing descriptions or correct any errors. First, I'll move the deprecated/legacy gnome-2 packages that I asked to be kept. After that, I'll go through the diffs in the order in which I first read them (so, effectively a random order of chapters, and random within each chapter) - mostly, one package at a time. More details are on blfs-support, but I'll mention the following changes here: Cantarell fonts - I'll include these as an external link on the X fonts page. Libgsf - not applying the changes, the retention of deprecated/legacy packages means the links will still exist, and the switches are not required for the current version which I'll be upgrading to. Similarly for a few other gnome-office packages. There was one other thing I didn't think was appropriate - something in the switches for a non-gnome package, but I can't see it in my (copious) notes at the moment. More if I come across it. Note in passing that the xml file for SpiderMonkey will not have a CamelCase name - all xml filenames are lowercase. Please note that I've only (so far) built enough of this to run gnome-session, plus a few other minor things. And many thanks to Wayne for preparing this and working out the dependencies. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
