The first step is to get general agreement on how to organize the book. A simple table of contents for what packages should be in a non-gui Volume I would be a good start. Then a list of what the current packages should be. I created a page in the BLFS Wiki for suggestions: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/BlfsReorg For those who want to edit the page, register and let me know that you want to contribute. I'll give write privs. The next step would be to determine the most recent versions for those packages that we determine should be included. Then a test of the build instructions for the packages with an LFS-7 system would get us started. Many of the packages will not change a lot. For those who want to actually update the xml files of the book, I'd ask for a couple of patches (svn diff) to get the learning process down. Using the wiki to show contributers who is working on what packages will help avoid duplication of effort. Eventually, we can get the tickets down to a more manageable level and start using the Trac ticket system more effectively. Right now the following are on my todo list: bc, openssl, openssh, sudo, which, wget, dhcp, iptables, mysql, apache, sgml/docbook, doxygen, hdparm, svn, ntp, php, and rsync. There are probably some prereqs for those also that I haven't looked at. Overall, I think with community input we could get something out that we would consider stable. A target date would depend on the level of participation. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
