There was a thread I started on 15/10/2015 about the package ordering, entitled LFS-7.8: An RFC on package ordering and into which you posted, which alluded to the great similarities thus > First up, I wanted to say, just in case I am the only person > ever to have done this, just how amazingly close to each other > these two strands of LFS are, when viewed in this way. > > It really does say a lot about the work that has gone into > LFS over the years in making it as pared down as possible. > (Ok, there a few mismatches where the SBUs are out by a 0.01 > and/or where the installed size is out by 1, but that's > not really the point) Now I appreciate I mostly lurk on here* but I just wanted to say that it is great news to hear that the two strands are being combined, as this will hopefully help avoid occurences similar to the issue that came up twice, regarding the attr man pages, where the correct info got put into one strand but not the other, via: LFS 7.7: Attr-2.4.47: Man pages clash 19/04/2105 which was then reprised in Man pages for attr conflict with those of man-pages 30/11/2015 Kevin * I do have some notes about building both an SysV init and systemd system but I got waylaid by the GMP thing and never followed it through. Seem to recall that it WAS possible to more closely match the ordering across the strands than they were at the time. Given the combined book branch, I suppose I should give it another go. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
