When experimenting, we want to give the user a chance to build without trashing the old system. It gives the option of backing up. For a user who is building only once, it probably doesn't make any difference, but I think this is one of the more important services that BLFS offers. I use it for qt, kde, fop, and ant. I don't generally build gnome, but I did, I would want to put it into /opt. > I too use a multilib system due to a work requirement of having to use > Citrix ICACLient.

I'm working on the LSB init scripts now (mostly from DJ) and will integrate them into LFS. That leaves, at, batch, and xdg_utils (LFS needs to be updated: coreutils supplies the test command). Those would be easy enough to add to BLFS. The at and batch commands are not really needed. I haven't seen them used in over 10 years. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/at/at_3.1.12.orig.tar.gz http://portland.freedesktop.org/download/xdg-utils-1.0.2.tgz -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
