Good job! I would like to see that list get down to 0.

We need to discuss the requested new packages on the ticket list:
Lm_sensors
SWIG
Bazar
Mercurial
Fuse
Convmv

Are these needed in blfs? Personally, I have no need for them. I have
used mercurial once (to get a firefox snapshot, but with all the beta
and nightly builds available I cant see why we need it). Regarding
lm_sensors, I think it's overkill to install just to monitor CPU
temperature (can be done without it). Regarding bazar, mysql uses it,
but I think we should stick to stable releases. I use the kernel fuse
module to mount my ntfs partition (using ntfs-3g), but the fuse
userspace tools are not required to do this.

I have no specific plans in the next weeks, other than updating KDE to
4.8.3 when it gets released on May 1.
Xorg should also be updated when libX11 1.5 gets released, but I think
several of us are willing to work on this.

Well, I haven't done a liveCD before, so I'm not sure what work is
needed in this regard.

We couldn't have done it without you, Bruce!
