From the package author:
On http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/nano.html there
are a few things that are not correct.
For the option "--with-slang" it says: "Use this if installed."
But that is not good advice. Slang should only be used if ncurses
is not available. The configure option --with-slang is only still
supported because Debian needs it for their nano-tiny, otherwise
we would have eliminated it, because it restricts nano in various
ways.
After the configuration example it says: "If you want Nano to store search
and position log files, make sure that the directory $HOME/.local/share
exists." That should no longer be necessary -- it was a deficiency in
nano-2.9.0 that has been fixed. (If you find that nano does not create
its ~/.local/share/nano path plus directory, please report a bug.)
So I think that whole paragraph can be removed. That will be good,
because the second paragraph begins with "Another example...", which
refers to the first configuration example. This "Another" is puzzling
when it comes after the "If you want..." paragraph.
Also, this "Another example..." refers to a "nanorc.sample" file, but
that file has been renamed quite a while ago, to: sample.nanorc.
