After some time, I have finally finished reviewing and polishing what was left, and I'm proud to say that I find the book to be production ready. The latest snapshot is available at the same location, with patches not in BLFS svn book available in blfs-systemd-patches subdirectory of my home directory, while the blfs-systemd-units tarball is still available from my home directory [2]. This book contains 111 xml pages that were either heavily modified from trunk/ or newly added ones - and that is without the GNOME section which now offers full GNOME-3.12.2 Desktop Environment. We also offer Wayland and Weston packages, as well as their dependencies. Doing that, we had to modify some packages in the Xorg section, but they can be modified to omit Wayland just fine. There were also changes that weren't init system or wayland specific, but a result of disagreements between maintainers in the past. The changes include rewritten Qt4 and Qt5 instructions so they can be once again installed alongside each other in /usr, using qtchooser to dynamically switch between two installations. The instructions were also simplified so that only one configure line is there and prefix can be changed before running it. Other changes include splitting libva and libvdpau from Xorg section into their rightful multimedia section, introduction of libva drivers page, addition of libva-vdpau-driver package, as well as removal of standalone Glamor package in favor of Xorg Server's internal one. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
