Cute, I like it. Submitting sed scripts upstream though seems to be frowned upon, they like patches. I agree with the concept of minimal patches. I think over-patching creates problems. When I RPM bootstrapped my LFS, I wrote most of my spec files in Fedora 18 so I could do things like run rpmlint on the result and get it right before building in LFS. The bash spec file consistently builds in LFS but in Fedora 18 on same machine, about 20% of the time it fails, something weird about Fedora must result in a race condition that doesn't exist in my LFS and I'm guessing it is related to the large amount of patches Fedora has, many of which only make sense for enterprise and not a typical system. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
