I would like to add RPM to BLFS because it is required for a system to be compliant with the Linux Standards Base. It doesn't have to be for 6.3, but it is relatively easy. The install issues:
Requires beecrypt (CMMI) RPM is basically CMMI, but needs --without-selinux for LFS The install puts one file, rpm, in /bin instead of /usr/bin. This is dumb because it requires libraries in /usr/lib. (Yes, it is that way in RHEL.) I would move it to /usr/bin. I do want to report on the Linux Collaboration Conference I went to a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't had time to write up my notes yet. In any case, I think being LSB compliant would be relatively easy for us. It would just require a few more packages, but I haven't compiled a full list yet. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
