Hi,
Just started playing with jhablfs (done two successful jhalfs builds so far... magic! Many thanks)

and I was curious, at the moment the generated makefile doesn't seem able to cope with 'alternative' dependencies (apart from a few other niggles I'll submit patches for later).

For example:
        imagemagick:    xfree86  xorg

Isn't an ideal situation. Are alternative package choices defined in the source xml or do these need hand defining somewhere? Would the ideal solution be that automatic dependencies don't get fulfilled where there exist alternatives (perhaps a hyrbrid target "xfree86-xorg" that produces an error when invoked) but building either of the xorg or xfree86 targets would then satisfy this dependency and create a hybrid xfree86-xorg file.

Are there any other 'alternative' dependencies in the blfs book other than the obvious xorg/xfree?

Regards,
