That's unfortunate. BLFS is much harder to use now.
In what way is it harder ? The releases were always a little out of

always been best to download a tarball of the book so that it doesn't

divergences, mostly by addition. I think what the newbie wants is a

Yes, I'd agree with that. Broadly speaking, what I think people want

with the dependencies, or broader packages like Gnome or KDE which we
cover as entire sections. In what way is the current system not
