I built it and ran it. I generally use vim and I don't see (after only two minutes of experimentation) what it provides over gvim. I generally use text mode vim, so I'm not the best person to evaluate it's functionality. However, that's my personal use--BLFS is for everyone. > Just in case it's helpful, I did the edit as an exercise to see how easy > it is, and here is the 'svn diff' against the book checked out a couple > of hours ago. > > The key learning points seem to be to use 'svn add' to tell svn about > any new files, then edit general.ent and the index xxx.xml for the > chapter/section.

There is also a svn propset svn:keywords "LastChangedDate Author" filename.xml needed. > I must say the book source is very tidy now, and Manuel has done a > fantastic job with the markup.

A couple of nit-picks before I commit: There were a couple of paragraphs in the xml that were a little wide. I reformatted them in vi with gqap commands. The md5sum doesn't match what I got. You have a3cf8abd282d850407e8c7eed38d15e7, but on my system: $ md5sum bluefish-1.0.1.tar.bz2 5ffabef54fc83f5e540e08e23e3f5671 bluefish-1.0.1.tar.bz2 I didn't do a complete timing and size test, but a configure && make took about 0.25 SBU on my system. You have 0.5 SBU. This is pretty minor. I changed "X Windows" to "the X Window System" in two places. I'll go ahead and commit the change as soon as you can validate the md5sum for me. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
