Hi.

I read in your previous mail you have an audio workstation.

May I ask you if you know about softwares like Sibelius or Steinberg Cubase SX 
and/or libraries like the ones of Native Instruments?

Don't tell me about Brahms 'cause it's not worthy.

Hi.

Yeah, I know about it but it doesn't fit my needs.

Sibelius, Steinberg and Native Instruments products are steps higher; these are 
softwares I normally use (running Mac OS X and Windows machines), they are 
surely a money investment but worthy.
I also use some hardware whose drivers are non-existent for linux.

Anyway thanks,
Luca

 well, i was confused a bit since i thought that blfs wiki is for blfs
 apps. but if it's not only for blfs apps,

My understanding of it was the same as yours. 

As far as I can tell, the only thing that links to the Wiki is the book.  
Personally, when I clicked on user notes in the book, what I expected to 
find was information pertinent to the package I was building.  Also, the 
Wiki as it's currently set up follows the book w respect to the order it's 
in; we're not always going to be able to do that, particularly when dealing 
with something that isn't in the book. 

That said, it looks like that Wiki could accommodate both. But, it would 
take a little doing.  So long as there was another way in to it in addition 
to through the BLS book, it might prove to be a very good place to start off 
with this and see how much interest there is. 

 ... i'm certainly going to give
 it a try (after finishing my new shiny amd64 build :))

I'll admit it; I love my x2.  The more I use it, the better I like true 64 
mode, too.  32-bit or 64-bit, it's a fast chip. 

I still think we need a separate forum; particularly while this first gets 
rolling, I think effective communication is going to be a deciding factor w 
respect to whether this gets off the ground or ends up being yet another 
flash in the pan.

 Also, I ended up doing a number of things that aren't in the book but
 very well could be; I wouldn't mind writing them up.  A few things come to
 mind that might also be good tips / hints / etc.  Again, though, I'm not sure
 what the right way to go about submitting something like that is.

my lfs system is a digital audio workstation, and i'd like to share my
experience too. another beyond-blfs thing i have is GNUstep desktop.
there was also quite a lot of tuning and build procedure modifications
to get maximum performance.

i think, our community should have some dedicated resource to put
there the stuff like that. (and writing plain-text hints is not that
really good as for the xxi century.)

to keep things consistent... maybe we should start beyond blfs
project? should it be yet another wiki ...

 I would very much like to discuss XULRunner / embedded mozilla - embedded
 gecko engine apps [snip]

...or it would be really nice to have dedicated forum for discussing
the stuff like this? or both?

That sounds (no pun intended) very interesting; I would very much like to 
know more about not just the end product, but how you built it - including 
what design decisions were involved and why they were made one way or the 
other, ... 

Even after appx. 30 years I've still barely scratched the surface of things 
I would like to explore in computing (which is part of the reason it's kept 
my interest for 30 some years).  Every time I reinvent the wheel to 
explore one, that's that many less I'll ultimately have the opportunity to 
investigate. 

 i think, our community should have some dedicated resource to put
 there the stuff like that. (and writing plain-text hints is not that
 really good as for the xxi century.)

Sounds good to me.  I'm still getting acquainted with the whole Wiki thing 
and am not quite up to speed (yet) on creating content, etc., but from what 
I've seen, it certainly seems like that format would work well. 

 I would very much like to discuss XULRunner / embedded mozilla - embedded
 gecko engine apps [snip]
 
 ...or it would be really nice to have dedicated forum for discussing

My $0.02 is both; I think they would naturally complement each other.  
And, if it's at all possible, I would very much like to see them (Wiki and 
forum) integrated somehow into the existing LFS/BLFS/CLFS/etc.project / 
effort - assuming, of course, that those responsible for it are into doing 
this. 

Hopefully, this'll go somewhere...

The blfs wiki is intended for just this kind of thing.

http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/BlfsNotes

If you have an account, I think you can create new pages. Just try to
keep them organized.

Discussion of BLFS, LFS, etc. current and new versions

2007-11-01 Thread randd
 From what I can gather, there's an ongoing discussion w/ respect to current 
and future LFS and BLFS books, etc.  Could someone point me to it? 

Thanks,

It died now, but there were a couple discussions for LFS:

http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2007-October/060407.html
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2007-October/060515.html

Nothing has been said about BLFS except why is it stagnant?
