My take on the sed commands: The Emacs sed is not required. Nothing from the contrib/Emacs directory is installed. The make_fonts_map sed does make a difference in a test file I used the before and after sort commands and they produce different results. The -k syntax seems to be required for proper operation, though I cannot be certain. The /usr/local/share to /usr/share is required to find the Ghostscript fonts. There's no configure swith to define it so we need the change. The malloc sed is not required as it is fixed in the new package version. I'm not sure what the localstatedir=/var does. Nothing is installed there, but it could be a /var/spool thing, but I'm not sure. PSUtils should be moved to a recommended dependency. This is from the program's author. There is one additional test that fails during 'make check' other than the printer.tst The i18 fonts should be marked as optional. Right now the book implies that you should install them as it is under the "additional downloads" with no comment about being optional, and there is instructions to install them without it being marked as optional either. Because of the 3 unknowns (sed to fix sort command, the localstatedir and the new 'make check' error) I don't feel comfortable updating the package. Perhaps I'm being overly cautious here. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2443#comment:2> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
