I'm sorry to hear this but I also understand. All that you have done is much appreciated as will anything you may choose to do in the future. We each have to judge the amount of effort we put into whatever task we take on. I do enjoy your posts and hope that you can continue to help users as you have the time. > At the moment, I'm preparing one of my irregular lists of what I've > built, and in what order. My methodology is to create a script for each package. A part of the common script that is included is to log each successful build with a time stamp. That's just a little thing, but useful. > 1. audacious-3.3.1 - works mostly ok, time indications seem b0rken, > but that isn't unusual, nor critical. > > 2. firefox/xulrunner-15.0.1 : I had hoped to take a look at this, > but I've got problems with 15.0 on my old, slow, LFS-6.6 system > (installed ok, but crashes on almost every page - much of that > system is now obsolete, but 14.0.1 in the non-xulrunner form worked > fine there), and no time to spend on measuring, nor on confirming > that the xulrunner build is again bigger and slower.

We can't test them all. It's really up to the package developer to do a thorough checkout. I will update apache soon. > 4.

That's a package I don't feel I can do properly. My printer understands postscript and I don't need or use gutenprint. Actually, I don't even have my printer hooked up to mt LFS systems. It's on my wife's old Ubuntu system and I just access it through cups. There's no issues there. I'm pretty much in the same situation with wireless networking. I don't have any systems that use it, so I can't test. In any case, I'm already looking forward to when you get back, whenever that is. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
