One addition. It would be nice to link to specific hints related to package management (similar to how we do it for the more_control_.) With or without a brief synopsis of each? From looking at the hints project (which is already linked to on the Package Management page) I can see: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/fakeroot.txt http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/alfs_paco.txt (not sure this is applicable, as it assumes the use of nALFS) http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/rpm.txt http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/paco.txt http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/lpm.txt http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/pm_with_git.txt If we link to some or all of these, I worry that we will have to continually monitor the status of the hints, i.e. to see if they still apply to the current version of LFS and that they haven't fallen into the "Unmaintained" bucket.

But the link to more_control should remain since it is unique:-) Well, the *real* reason that I mentioned the hints is coz I wanted a link to my fakeroot hint ;-) -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

If so, I certainly don't mind creating a link to the fakeroot hint in that section.

Matt, I'm going to hold off deleting the section completely until after I see what is put into LFS. We *may* want to supplement that is there or reference it in the BLFS package management section. Go ahead and put into LFS whatever you think is appropriate and we'll "do the right thing" afterward. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I think you need to review the text: I already did...honest :-) "Package Management is an often requested addition to the LFS Book." You just added that. "Some reasons why no package manager is mentioned in LFS or BLFS include:" OK, it'd probably be more accurate as "Some reasons why no single package manager is recommended in LFS include:" " Note As no particular package management technique is mentioned in LFS, the commands in the remainder of this book must be performed while logged in as user root and no longer as user lfs. Also, double check that $LFS is set." You now mention several. Well, they were mentioned before! Again, changing "mentioned" to "recommended".
