I am learning LFS BOOK 6.6.
Do you mean every SBU measure include test time described in the head
of the page of the package in Chapter 6 which has a testsuite and don't
include test time in Chapter 5?
Have a glance at the sections in Chapter 6, I found there are some
packages which have a testsuite but without marked "testsuite included"
in the head of package section, such as: 6.25. Bison-2.4.1,
6.33. Perl-5.10.1, 6.41. Gettext-0.17, etc... If the SBU number in
these packages don't include test time?
I sugguest adding a note in SBU section such as: the test time should
be included into SBU measure in Chapter 6 if the package has a testsuite
and shouldn't be included into SBU measure in Chapter 5 anyway.
Although it will not affect us to make a working LFS without the
changing on wording.
Until today, I haven't reached the jhalfs. But thanks your information
anyway.
