Yes, the LFS-pacman packeage management line is now a dead end. If anyone wants to take it over be my guest. i don't like where pacman 4 is going and it requires many more additional packages to make it function. I am following the pacman devel on Arch for now and it seems a bit crazy. I wanted a simple package management system and it looked like pacman would fit the bill. I tried upgrading the version of pacman to the latest version in my "build system" built things got a bit too ugly. I then looked for different packages managers and RPM seemed to be the best choice. I was used the lastest rpm version from rpm.org ( there has just been a new release so I will need to grab that). I like the srpm files as it captures all the files used to create the binary rpm package so you can recreate the binary package when ever you need to. Using rpm is a requirment for "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" so I guess it makes me more compliant...Yipee -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
