And what my intention was is that when something is discovered that seems wrong, or doesn't make sense, it should be brought up in the -dev list so that it can be discussed, and then fixed if necessary. > My point is when there is a recommended section, the > interpretation is subjective.

That is why I was so critical in the decision to make Gimp-print a recommended dependency for the Gimp. Simply way too much subjectiveness. Likewise, if I were to ever add something to the Recommended list of a package and someone didn't agree with it, I would expect her to bring it up and say "hey Randy, this is all wrong because ..." I would have no problem discussing it and most likely changing it back to optional because there was at least one person that disagreed with my *opinion*. Bottom line is: I respect the consensus of the community, more than I need to have it "my way". If I want something, and even one person writes in to disagree, I count it at -1 in my favor. I do not count my vote. If the vote is so close that it could go either way, I would prefer to put things how they *were*, rather than *keep the change*". -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 23:20:01 up 121 days, 8:44, 3 users, load average: 1.01, 1.02, 0.75 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
