I see on /. that debisn sid is now using x.org. Is it time for us to drop xfree86? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

We're current now, but when a new release or patches become available, we need to build and test before updating the book. If the demand for the package is not there, should we spend that effort? I'm just asking the question to see if there is a demand for the package. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: New cracklib and Heimdal
DJ Lucas wrote these words on 07/16/05 19:39 CST: Anybody have the old installed and working? Need testers for the new cracklib-2.8.3 and Heimdal. One of the last things I am going to do on my current LFS-6.1 test build is update Heimdal and do a full Kerberos installation. Typically, I just install the Kerberos libs into /usr/lib and everything else in a not-in-the-path directory. I typically don't install a Kerberos authentication database on my test system either, but will when I do the next Heimdal package update. At this time I was going to revise my Heimdal/Cracklib patch and try to make it work with the new cracklib. Of course, this requires the Cracklib/Heimdal patch to be updated as well. If you've already created new patches, please upload them to the LFS patch repo and I'll pick them up from there and do significant testing. This will be about a week from now. By next weekend for sure. From now until then, I'll be updating the other packages I have assigned to me in Bugzilla. I have GnuCash almost finished (dependency hell!) and will commit that update today. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 13:00:00 up 106 days, 12:33, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Perhaps posing the question to the -chat list might also be appropriate as well. I can't imagine many end-user only types read this list on a faithful basis. ...There's always one. I use XFree86 because Xnest works properly. For me, when I build xorg and gnome, if I log in a a different user in a nested window, the gnome apps I run as that user don't work properly. The app that's on top stays on top and I can't bring whatever's behind to the front without closing the app that's in front. With XFree86, everything works perfectly. So please keep XFree86 in the book. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
