This should have been sent to blfs-dev and not me personally. -- Bruce -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Xorg scripted retrieval of the latest releases Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 03:46:00 +0200 From: Voluspa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It is true, as you write, that the first build of xorg should be done through a set of compatible packages. But afterwards, if one is interested in certain fields, the search for information can be daunting. The attached script makes it a breeze. It is also quite easy to add an external "exclude" file with the $BASENAME listing things like xf86-video-trident and other cruft. Then add a grep-dependant retrieval. I know that distro-maintainers already run these kind of scripts, but why not demystify it for new blfs-ers? Let it go to /dev/null, put it on a wiki or rewrite as you see fit. I'm just reacting to queries that begin to pop up on the xorg mailing list. I'm not subscribed there and feel too much like an amateur to post. Action by proxy is more in line with my personality.
