Why was the information about the 17 libs that need to be installed in a certain order, as well as the comment about installing font-util and encodings before other font packages, removed from the book? This is important information and needs to be there.
It's still there, just not in those words. As mentioned in the introduction, build order is provided by the wget file lists. BLFS assumes all packages are installed in the order provided. The two (actually there were three) notes you had mentioned were unnecessary and went against the outcome of the community's discussion on what dependency information to include for xorg7. Specifically, we (I think that might be three of us that agreed fully) had decided against any inter-package/inter-group dependencies, instead viewing xorg7 as a *single* package. There were two obvious exceptions (xbitmaps and luit) that were separated from their xorg defined groups simply because they couldn't be lumped into their group of packages' build, and be expected to work. For now, this information belongs in the wiki. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
