The perl modules which are used by packages in blfs are: xml::parser (used by 8 packages) sgmlspm (opt. for building docs for 1 package) archive::zip (req by 1 package) 6 modules (libwww-perl, date::manip, html::parser, html::tableextract, crypt::ssleay and finance::quote) are ONLY used by gnucash; in which case they are optional and used for retrieval of stock price quotas. I wonder how many ppl use that functionality... Could these be removed? The following 12 modules are used by no packages and thus are candidates for removal: finance::quotehist module::info module::signature net::dns pod::coverage test::pod test::pod::coverage text::diff tk uri xml::simple yaml -Ragnar- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
