To me, I'd like to see two things. First, an update to the packages. This is relatively straight forward, but of course has a lot of detail. Second, I'd like to see a new page on how we are addressing building LFS as a 64-bit system. Then add a section to each page that needs it any special 64-bit instructions. Then a 6.4 or 7.0 release would be appropriate. After that, we can address package management. In the past there has been a fair amount of discussion about that, but we need to come to a decision on how to address it. Another item of interest is LSB conformance. Again, this would start as a page up front to describe what it is and why one might want to do it. It would be followed up by sections in individual package sections as necessary. Of course a bare LFS system would not be LSB compliant, but would need to be followed up in BLFS to get a complete system. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
