Don't should be needed. What is needed is to create a sub-routine to parse Dbus-Bindings and Python-Modules on a different way, like was done for Xorg7. I will try to have it done before BLFS-6.3 release. Perl-Modules is not an issue due that almost all its dependencies are also Perl modules. > I"m wide open to suggestions or ideas that can help.

Yes, full automatization is impossible, not only due peculiarities on some BLFS pages, but also due that in a lot of packages the build commands need be adjusted based on what dependencies are installed and/or should be used. Plus, we should try to keep the XML structure the most simple possible to not do more hard the editor's work, IMHO. The current XML structure was not designed thinking on automate builds. That requires rigid XML trees with several hocks to can diferentiate each commad type (pre-configuration, patches, seds, configure, binaries build, documentation build, testsuites, binaries install, documentation install, post-configuration, etc...) and a more fine-grained optional dependencies (to add extra features, to allow testsuites run, to build documentation, etc...). A lot of changes and more work for the editors, but at the end the users will need yet to read carefully the book, to decide what internal and external dependencies he want, to review the scripts, and to decide what need be changed to build the package as he want. No, thanks. I someone want a full-automated from sources build, he can use Gentoo and like. Nevertheless, small not-intrusive changes like the ones propossed by Dan for LFS can be evaluated, if all you think that could be beneficial for both the editors, the book users, and jhalfs users. -- Manuel Canales Esparcia Usuario de LFS nº2886: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org LFS en castellano: http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es http://www.lfs-es.info TLDP-ES: http://es.tldp.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
