Yes. You use the ratio of the time for package to the first LFS binutils time. I use: TIMEFORMAT='%1R Elapsed Time - ' $PACKAGENAME > 2.)

It will either "merge' in any changes or update the files with a "Conflict" with <<<< and >>>> markers. Check with `svn status` > 4.)

Usually I make install with DESTDIR=/tmp/$PACKAGENAME-install and then evaluate if everything is there. Other mkdir, cp, install, commands are similarly modified. Run any test suites and any other tests that you can think of to ensure the package works properly. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
