So I added Amarok2 which requires a MySQL embedded server library
(libmysqld.{a,so}).
MySQL 5.5 builds a static library when passed the -DWITH_EMBEDDED_SERVER=ON
option,
but Amarok2 fails to build with the static version.
MySQL 5.5 is unable to build a shared version, so I added a patch to fix t

I updated MPlayer to use Andy's svn-snapshot.
The snapshot should probably be moved to a proper location on anduin (as for
html-tidy).
I cleaned up dependencies and commented out some text, as the instructions were
way too detailed.
Also, MPlayer doesn't install libpostproc.so anymore, so no
I suggest we resolve the following tickets as wontfix:
#2347 and #2348 (5 yr old): Libmatroska and its dependency libebml. VLC/MPlayer
already support .mkv files through ffmpeg.

windows apps on linux.

I can see that we still use --enable-nntp for Evolution-3.2.2.
Since I don't use Gnome, can someone please check if the option is still
needed,
so we can close this ticket?

FAQ: http:
Should libssh be added to the book?
I can see that certain packages (cURL, kde-runtime...) can utilize it.
If yes, should we include libssh or libssh2?
This page sheds som light on the differences:

We're down to under 100 active tickets for BLFS now!
I have continued my review of the tickets and suggest we resolve the following
tickets as invalid:
2333 (5 yr old): MythTV: DVR application.
3262 (3 mnths old): Cronie, another cron alternative. We already got fcron in
the book, so do we
I suggest we resolve the following (ancient) tickets as e.g. wontfix:
2926+2929: Lua: Scripting language. Optional dep. of VLC. Suggest we keep it as
external dep.
2654: Accessibility for blind users. Does anyone really have the time to work
on this?
1550: OpenEXR: Image format. Opt.dep of
A warm welcome to you, Armin!

I want to upgrade amarok to the newest version (2.5), but it requires
KDE4 and thus can not be used with KDE3.
Should we maintain two versions of amarok in the book?

I would like to add the wicd package to BLFS.
For those of you who do not know it, it is a network connection manager,
similar to NetworkManager but not as featurerich, and written in python.
It can manage wired and wireless connections seamlessly.
Although I could get NetworkManager to bui

Are we including this option as default for those packages that support it?
Or should it just be mentioned under "Command Explanations"?
Currently, the use of this option is not consistent throughout the book.
IMHO it should be included as default. Does anyone have use for the static libs?

I agree that those packages can be removed, but isn't HAL a requirement for
KDE3, though?
(I would argue to remove the whole KDE3 section. Are people still using it?)
In addition, clucene is no longer used by the semantic desktop in KDE4 (being
replaced by virtuoso).
Any reason to keep it in th
