What do you think about Vim in LFS > and/or BLFS, with a monthly source in Anduin? What would be an easier way to maintain these type of changes would be to update a patch that is the difference between the base package and the svn package. The update would then amount to adding a new patch to the packages repository and changing the patch number in the book. Note that changes to vim would need to happen in both LFS and BLFS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
