Build order will be unchanged. I was kind of letting the xorg section hang for a just a bit as the update to 7.5 will be official any day nowAFAIK, we're just waiting on a final release of xf86-input-joystick (and maybe a couple of minor updates to other modules if the RC has any issues, but there are none that I can see on my current build). When I commit, I'll make the recommendation in the book.

xorg-libs & libxcb dependency
Hi, As noted on the xorg-libs page, libxcb is used by default and a switch is required to disable building against it. As such, should the dependency not be listed under 'Recommended' rather than 'Optional'? The default use of libxcb would suggest that upstream expect/prefer it to be available? Thanks, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
xorg lib md5 file error
Hi DJ, Looks like http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/files/BLFS/svn/xorg/lib-7.4.md5 contains an entry for an index.html file that doesn't exist/isn't required. This leads 'md5sum -c ../lib-7.4.md5' failing. Any chance you could just remove that top entry please?

No sure if this is the same problem I saw during my build, but if it is,
it's to do with gir-repository being built before libunique (same thing
for vte).
I also found that if gobject-introspection is installed before building
libunique, then gir-repository will be a requirement for libunique and
on top of that, gtk2 needs to be built before gir-repository.
The gir-repository page needs to have its optional dependencies updated
(Ticket 2971).
Now that 2.28.1 is in, feel free to update whatever page is necessary
with your fixes. At some stage I'll take another look gdm and see if the
sym links cannot be removed with an alternative patch fix.
Speaking of which, I've got a new problem with gdm. After a reboot, the
login button is missing. Doing a to restart gdm, brings
back the login button.
Wayne.

An alternative method would be to have the script load /etc/sysconfig/gnome or similar file with current boot time parameters such as GNOME_PREFIX. A similar approach is nfs-utils which uses a sysconfig file. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Harcoded dirs in the GDM bootscript
Basicaly, I looked at the GDM bootscript, and it's hardcoded to 2.18.3. If you ask me, it should be updated to match the latest version, or better yet, point to /opt/gnome, which is a good idea.
