I grepped the book for 'bridgehead renderas="sect4">Recommended' It shows 80 packages have recommended dependencies. The first two on the list (which is alphabetical) are libsoup and libproxy. These packages don't need recommended dependencies. Either 1) Change the 'Recommended' to Required' with the same note. There is precedence for having more than one "Required' section. Or 2) move the dependencies back to 'Optional' with the note. We don't need to recommend a dependency, when a few simple words in parenthesis can identify to the reader that the dependency is required if (whatever reason). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:47:01 up 41 min, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.15, 0.26 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
