The easiest thing for packages that build against LFS 7.3 without changes is to just send a list of those packages. Updating the tag is just a matter of changing a tag from &lfs72_checked; to &lfs73_checked; I've already changed over 100 packages, but there are still about 500 to go. My usual approach is to build what I need first. For instance, I build bc and lsb-release (for my scripts), openssl/openssh, sudo, which , wget, and ntp. I then start building what is needed to for the books: subversion, docbook, libxml2, etc. My next step is Xorg, following required and recommended dependencies as needed. I then jump around a bit. I usually put off window managers to last because they have so many dependencies that need to be built before testing that its generally easier to do other things first. My next steps will be two fold. I've ordered some extra RAM for my development system and want to install that to be able to do multiple qemu sessions. I plan to update from kvm-qemu to plain qumu. I've built that from the latest git commit and it's looking good. I'll also start multimedia, and LAMP applications. > - interested to add brltty to the book? > - Interested to add Cython module for Python?

I don't know if they would have general interest or not. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
