questions:
1. Is the version in the book still current? If not, what is the
current version?
2. If the version is current, does the package build and run using
LFS-7.2 and the current BLFS instructions?
3. Do we need to keep the package in the book or should it be removed
as obsolete?
There are another 53 packages that have been checked for LFS-7.1 but not
yet for LFS-7.2. I'll start looking at those later.
Any help would be appreciated.

There were some upgrades in last few days, and this is new
lfs70_{checked,built} list:
general/prog/librep.xml:lfs70_checked;
general/genutils/rep-gtk.xml:lfs70_checked;
x/wm/sawfish.xml:lfs70_checked;
These 3 go together. librep and rep-gtk aren't developed anymore from
what I've seen. They can all go if you desire.
general/genlib/ptlib.xml:lfs70_built;
multimedia/libdriv/opal.xml:lfs70_built;
These were dependencies of Ekiga package. They aren't useful anymore -
but they are still being developed. Also, they are last stable versions,
upstream has ony unstable ones. I suggest we move them to archive untill
then.
general/genutils/compface.xml:lfs70_checked;
This package seems to be unmaintained. I have no need for it. Unless
someone else needs it, I suggest you remove it, too.
general/sysutils/eject.xml:lfs70_checked;
This one is now part of util-linux-2.22 so I am not sure what should we
do with it.
multimedia/libdriv/libmusicbrainz.xml:lfs70_checked;
This one can go as well, just replace packages' deps with external link.
multimedia/audioutils/freetts.xml:lfs70_checked;
Unless someone else needs this one, you can remove it, too. I have no
idea what it does.
multimedia/libdriv/libdiscid.xml:lfs70_built;
multimedia/libdriv/libmusicbrainz3.xml:lfs70_checked;
networking/textweb/w3m.xml:lfs70_built;
networking/netutils/nmap.xml:lfs70_checked;
networking/netutils/mod_dnssd.xml:lfs70_checked;
networking/netutils/traceroute.xml:lfs70_checked;
multimedia/libdriv/libmpeg3.xml:lfs70_checked;
multimedia/cdwriteutils/k3b.xml:lfs70_checked;
I can check these.
postlfs/filesystems/jfs.xml:lfs70_checked;
postlfs/filesystems/reiser.xml:lfs70_checked;
These can get lfs72_built from me, I don't have any free partitions to
check filesystem creation and/or fsck.
general/prog/gcc.xml:lfs70_checked;
general/genlib/libesmtp.xml:lfs70_checked;
general/sysutils/at.xml:lfs70_checked;
general/sysutils/gpm.xml:lfs70_checked;
networking/netprogs/bridgeutils.xml:lfs70_checked;
networking/connect/ppp.xml:lfs70_checked;

pst/typesetting/jadetex.xml:lfs70_checked;
server/major/vsftpd.xml:lfs70_checked;
server/mail/sendmail.xml:lfs70_checked;
I have no use for these, sorry.

Re: [blfs-dev] Request for volunteers
Bruce I'd like to help but I'm running an svn version of LFS, not 7.2. I guess that disqualifies me, right? jb.
