Interesting work; am interested in updating periodically on how 'that side of things' is structured and hangs together. Congrats of course to those concerned. I'd expect that at least some of the improvements will get carried back into blfs-nix. The '111 xml pages' lends weight to the two-branches view: tho' some of the early-committed changes from CJG I thought was lopping blfs-nix stuff out a bit unnecessarily such that pages were then slightly artificially appearing to have less in common between the two branches than was readily the case. rgds, akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
