Regarding those two, I would also like to see them in the book. Swig can be used by subversion, graphviz and such. And I think subversion needs it to build perl/python/ruby bindings which can be used by git-svn. As for lm-sensors, I already use it and it is not just cpu temperature monitor, but fan control, fan speed report, cpu, mainboard, hdd temperature report and such. It also provides shared library which can be used by some packages like sensors-applet for gnome (not in the book, but useful). > Bazar > Mercurial > Fuse > Convmv > As for those, I use fuse for gvfs/ntfs-3g since I prefer shared over static libraries (and yes, ntfs-3g can link to static lib). Also, I saw someone mentioning dosfstools/fuse/ntfs-3g quite some time ago, but there was no word about it later. Is anyone going to handle those? If not, I will take the job for ntfs-3g and dosfstools (we can skip fuse if everyone else does not need it). > Are these needed in blfs? Personally, I have no need for them.
