Oh, ever the diplomat Randy :-) The reasons I wanted to drop the patch were in my original RFC, the main one being that it's never going to get accepted upstream as the functionality to determine the processor type belongs in the kernel. Thinking over that again though, that's exactly the same situation faced by the Coreutils i18n patch - it provides useful functionality but in a manner that upstream won't accept. So, maybe it wasn't a very strong argument after all. Given the above, and the fact that those that responded want the patch kept, I'll just let it lie for now. Thanks, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
