We have to be careful here. In the past (can't recall specifics now), installing editline caused problems with some packages that we'd prefer to be using readline. The "solution" has been just to not mention editline in the book. I don't mind having editline mentioned, and, in cases like dash, it may provide the only means of line editing. The issue arises that you install editline and then it causes a regression building another package which would otherwise use readline. According to my specs, there are quite a few BLFS packages that use readline: Python bc gnupg inetutils libxml2 ntp postgresql samba xfsprogs I think these should be audited for editline conflicts before we can start mentioning it again in the book. There may be others which I don't build, too. I don't think this would be too hard, though. We may find that the previous conflicts have been resolved. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
