Thanks for your interest.
Well, I believed that there were no vim lang package anymore with vim 7.3 (checked on vim site. the last version of vim-lang is 7.2). This means that if you tick this option, jhalfs (I mean without the patch) stops when trying to unpack it, (versions 6.8, 7.0 and current SVN of the book). That is the reason why I disabled it. If you apply the patch, it modifies also lfs.xsl, which then does not unpack vim-lang anyway. So I suppressed the option. If you want me to re-enable it, let me know, I think it is not a big change. But it is not just reverting the hunk above. I take the opportunity to list the other changes I have made: - Change the minimum versions in func_check_version to reflect what is in the current book (and correct a bug with libxml version check, where a minor version of '08' was taken as octal and could not be parsed). Also use the 'ldd' trick to check glibc version. On a todo list: extract those versions automatically from the book. - Change the way tests are handled in the generation of the scriptlets, which allows to simplify slightly the generation, and to correct a bug, which for example transformed the 'ulimit' line of gcc tests into 'make -k >> $TEST_LOG 2>&1 || true'... - Update the blfs tools (lynx, wget, etc) to current versions. On my todo list, I want to extract them automatically from BLFS rather than to hardcode them, but for now, I just modified the versions, the patches and the scriptlets. I know that (almost) nobody (except me) uses the blfs tools right now, but I plan to improve those. And installing those tools allows for a much easier start, if you want to build manually the BLFS book while booted on LFS. - Other cosmetic changes (like translating some comments of Manual from Spanish-English to my own French-English:-) ) - I think all the other changes were related to package management.
