Hello Ken, Thank you for the welcome. Sorry for my belated reply, but a storm knocked out power for over 18 hours. I am very much enjoying things so far. I have been working on things on my local computer for a month or so, and have the basic structure of things completed. This is still very much work in progress, as I have not yet fully completed the pages as far as the installed files and SBU values are concerned. I needed to get all pages re-added and update the download urls and versions along with their md5sums. I needed a base book to work with, as it makes things so much easier to actually copy things to rather than double handling things. Thanks to Armin I know what can actually be added to the "published" book. I had done overkill, as I included everything that the gnome developers tool jhbuild builds. With working on this for as long as I have, I now have an excellent understanding of how the book is put together. I must say that the second to last headache was getting beyond Bruce's evil make validate script. I know that it needs to render, but boy that script is really unforgiving. Took me hours to actually track down some weird reference to a file that for all intents and purposes I was not even able to find by editing each individual file and going looking for the offending xref. Now that I have a working sandbox, and a place that I can upload to, I am re-doing a little of the work I have done to remove references to pages that are deemed not wanted for the book, and making sure everything validates against the make validate and make html. I have never before used SVN to upload files, so that was my final headache, and it really did give me a headache to make sure that I followed the editors guide and updated the change logs and added appropriate comments. I also must thank Bruce for fixing the first committ error stating that I was a non-member posting to a members only list. I had registered as [email protected] on the blfs-book and patches mailing lists, confirmed the subscription hours before I even attempted a first committ. It seems that we should probably use, in my case, [email protected]. There are a couple more comitts that are probably still in the queue before Bruce fixed it. What I am not sure of is this: Do I need to re-send those committs, or have my changes actually already been sent to the branch and its only the email notification that is waiting in the queue? Regards, Christopher. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
