Looking at the old idea for an alphabetical sequence, we only really start of get close to that with the autoconf ... vim block of packages, and even there gawk, xz, less are not in order. So I'm going to suggest (when we get to the 3.9 kernel) that we just add it after vim. Dependencies identified are: bison, flex, gawk, ncurses, readline and texinfo. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
