Christopher, thanks for sharing all this with us. Have not yet started to study this package. After Epiphany failed to build in series 2.4, it is evident that WebKitGtk-2.6.0 it needs to go into the book. However, the other packages have not yet been ported to this version, thus WebKitGTK+-2.4.5 must stay in the book. This is being discussed in ticket #5575: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/5575 and Armin has given a lot of details. Conclusion: thanks for sharing this with us, but you need to keep the old page and create a new one, as it was before for series 1 and 2. However, we must be careful that they are installed to coexist. This seems possible, because Armin reported that most files and directories were renamed in this version. Finally, some of your questions could be: ate the moment, 2.4.5 provide those functionalities. I am writing these as are in mi mind, without having started yet to study the subject. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
