I think that's a little unfair. Please remember that both the LFS and BLFS projects are based on *volunteer* effort and therefore noone should *expect* to have their particular pet-peeve fixed in any particular amount of time (or at all in fact). Whilst we do endeavour to address all suggestions, lack of time or a particular urge to 'scratch an itch' that a particular developer may not be feeling is more than reasonable behaviour in such projects. Why is the fact that we regenerate the book every day such a problem for you? If the date of the book hasn't been incremented then it's fairly safe to say that no changes have been made. I don't think it would take too much to change our nightly jobs to not render a new copy of the book if no changes have been made, but again, nobody apart from you seems to care at the moment. Given the long list of defects in BLFS' Trac system I'd wager that most of the devs would rather spend time tackling them than preventing regeneration of a book on a server that has plenty of capacity to do so.
