I guess the devil's in the details of the 'not necessarily', but: you're essentially parametrising lfs for sysd yes/no, but intend to simply omit some items from that parametrisation; and moreover, items that are fairly clear-cut as to their yes/no inclusion; while doing all of the other, arguably more-akward parts. ? > There are several packages that people have suggested > are not necessary in LFS.

Just to be clear: the query was, of course, re sysd; and not re minimal build or any of a myriad of other variously-related matters. > Adding a full systemd > automatically adds udev so that's useful and things like attr, acl, etc > are not really a problem. I guess that if the packages are represented accurately on the 'dependencies' page, then those folks interested can utilise that info for their purposes - e.g. even if just as a cross-check, &/or to (auto-)build their own deps-chain info, etc. Similarly re 'rationale' page. > The only thing I really don't like is dbus, > but that's not really a problem either if the user uses svsV and doesn't > add the start script. dbus is not needed on most servers that don't > also need an X install. > ((Yes, likewise here we pick'n'choose parts of lfs as appropriate. Further, as noted before, we use b/lfs &c as part of several input streams - on their respective own, separate branches - to the os's that we build here. One of b/lfs's usefulnesses wrt that, is that it's one of those streams that doesn't need overmuch 'untangling'. )) rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
