xorg-modular has become the single most complicated package in blfs. I just sent an email to the xorg-modular mailing list to see what plans they may have for simplifying the build. The issue is not, of course, CMMI, but the number of packages. At a minimum, they need to combine packages like the aggregation used in KDE. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
