In some cases, yes. In others, maybe not. > Which means the way it originally was, is probably best. Right? Not necessarily. We don't need to go back and research every package, but as the issue comes up for a specific package or a new package is added, we should "do the right thing". The editor's guide is just that: a guide. It's not a legal document. If an editor has what he thinks is a good reason to deviate, that's OK. We should all be trying to make the book as self-consistent as possible as well as consistent with the package author's desires. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
