I would like to clarify a few things. Some of the additions to the systemd branch have been made by me to accommodate the building of gnome. I have modified the instructions for Mesa to accommodate the building of Wayland. As a new editor here, I am trying to fit in with how things are done. For me personally, I think of us as all being on the same team and working to achieve a common goal, which is to release versions of the book(s) that give the least amount of stress/frustrations to the end user as possible. With the changes that I have made to the configure switches for accommodating wayland, and the changes that have been made to the pages for systemd integration, I do not see an easy way to keep the changes seperate. I tried to maintain a seperate section on the same page for systemd users, but the truth of the matter is, it really was confusing. The additions that have been made are the minimum for a successful build of gnome. There are a number of additional packages that both Armin and myself have installed that I personally wanted to add, but was told not to as they are not for the typical user. That makes sense due to the shear volume of packages and the work it would require to keep them maintained. The full build everything of gnome is 245 packages. That includes their dependencies. On top of that there are a few other packages that are not within the gnome environment that the gnome developers call system dependencies. I will also be adding instructions on the systemd branch of xorg-server-1.16.0 for wayland. The xwayland code has been merged in it now. Even though I am still using, at least at the moment the blfs-gnome branch, Armin is pulling in the completed pages. I am working as fast as I possibly can to get the gnome section complete. I am in the middle of building it now and updating the pages as I go.
