In my humble opinion, BLFS has grown far too complex to remain managable bij such a small group of volunteer maintainers as is the case with BLFS. Either recruit more maintainers or cut back in the complexity. A possible road could be: First dump the entire current BLFS into a wiki for reference and then cut back to a level that is maintainable by the current group of developers. Don't hasitate to be blunt! You'll end up with a strong core that will be the new backbone of BLFS. suggestions to keep: basic server software (http, ftp, a sql, ssl/ssh) also keep the core of X (either X-org or XFree86) With the 'new' wiki as reference start from scratch to build a new BLFS backbone with the basic packages and let it grow from there with coaching anyone that makes a package suggestions to become its maintainer.... my 2 cents... kind regards, Fenna Pel -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
