Indeed, an old relic still mentioned in the FHS. Myself, I could never imagine using /usr/games. BLFS whined, moaned, groaned, bitched and cried to move X out of /usr/X11R6, now, this proposal uses a directory mentioned only in the X11 section. The FHS prefers /usr/share/games, as best as I can tell. It would be difficult for me to support /usr/games, when we don't support /usr/X11... any longer. > If fortune is not installed, an empty window is displayed.

Because of this, and there is a recent release of Fortune, I am not against its addition to the book. However, we still need to discuss the section it would be added to the book. > Not sure.

I can agree with this as well. Be it known that all my screensavers on Linux machines are a stupid little man running around telling offensive jokes (some I find quite humorous). > With recode, I would like to add --without-included-gettext.

If you want to add them, do it. I think (unlike Ag's views) that a package added to BLFS that is low maintenance, and has some value to other BLFS packages is worthwhile. I don't consider it "cruft". -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
