So, the

deps or no?


I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  As I review the xorg7 page, it
looks like we should just have mesa as a required dependency at the top.
I know that you have a note in the xorg applications section, but I
think that should be removed and the dependency added.

Unfortunately, it's not exactly possible to build Mesa at the top of the build, it'd be a reciprocal dependency. Mesa depends on some Xorg7 Libs. Although the note should be revised to include 'if you intend to utilize Mesa..." Other option is to put it at the top, no note, and leave the dep on Xorg7 _Libs_ on the Mesa page (what we have now IMO is a bit more descriptive, however).


There are so many options that *could* be discussed, I think it would be
better to treat this as the non-modular system and only give one way
through the maze.


Just need to reinforce that BLFS expects _everything_ to be built. Cutting it down is possible, but you are on your own (until more pioneering users appear and update the wiki). No need for a special mention on the Mesa page.

Did this answer your question?  Am I missing anything?

Yes.  Perfectly.
