Hi,
I do not know who monitors this list,
I do that.
Now, the BLFS part offers much more room for improvement:
I don't use jhalfs for BLFS, but there are a couple of tools I'd like to see for it.
I'd like a tool to print out the dependency tree for a package. For instance,
dependencies package-name [required | all]
would look at the dependencies of for example, parted, and give a tree of packages
needed. The normal output would be required+recommended, but the optional argument
'required' would give just required dependencies while 'all' would give
required+recommended+optional. It would look something like:
$ dependencies parted
parted-3.2
LVM2-2.02.133
$ dependencies parted all
parted-3.2
LVM2-2.02.133

X Window System
I wouldn't expand 'X Window System'. I didn't finish the above, but you get the
idea. This is far from a trivial program. The circular dependencies need to be
handled in some way and there probably would need to be some changes to the book to
flag dependency issues.
However this type of thing could be used as an input into jhalfs for BLFS.
