You are mostly wrong. Christopher just demonstrated that it isn't hard as I anticipated it would be and that's all thanks to Bruce deciding to keep Acl, Attr, Libcap, Gperf, Expat and Intltool in the main LFS book too, so the main BLFS would not need to have these, eliminating the differences just regarding these dependencies that rendered my first attempt obsolete. > To be fair, Christopher is the author of this branch. > Well, you are welcome to look at the archives. It looks like systemd branch was created by me, no? If you do a diff against his original branch (gnome) and the instructions in the systemd branch (to be more fair, do it against the first revision I declared usable), you will notice that almost everything he has done to incorporate my notes has been rewritten to fit in the book. Not to mention work on packages that weren't back then handled by my notes and packages that weren't added to the GNOME Section by him. It's just that I've been keeping quiet about that and didn't want to take any credit even though everything has been based off my original work. Even GNOME was a huge mess, most of the new packages needed 100% instructions rewrite (again, svn is your friend) and those that didn't were based of my (our, by extension, your) work with previous GNOME releases but even there I kept quiet and silently did all the work myself. You were rather busy on looking about how to do more things to make my work harder instead of looking what was improved and how could the main book be improved too (gnome.ent incident was the first one and I won't mention various incidents on BLFS trac and mailing lists). Even if I'm right and even if other people would agree with me, you'd get your way simply because it's you who does all the work. You have great power with you. I won't deny that something I do may be wrong or not in spirit of BLFS, but sometimes I feel the necessity to avoid the unnecessary complications because I tend to look at the wider scope. Call it a sacrifice. But, I'm always happy to revert or fix something that I screwed up by such changes and I like when people prove me wrong, no matter what is it about. Some things are unfortunately a result of my stubbornes or simply because I'm a consistency freak. > The krejzi branch, started as systemd-ng is based on his idea and > courage.

You'll see that most of the fixes are cosmetic nature, few of them from disagreements between editors (I won't deny it, I didn't like some) and everything else was merged as-is plus the improvements of the things that bitrot over the time. There are still few URLS (srsly, URLs) that are wrong in the systemd branch, not to mention what else. > Armin can open a branch or his mainstream in github, but it is probable > that there are copyright issues. > Copyright issues? BLFS was imported as-is and no licensing/copyright information has been changed. You'll even see your name there because the book was based off the (you won't believe it) main BLFS book. > But he has no right to remove anything from our servers. > I removed something?

I suppose you are aware that I'm not allowed to contribute to systemd branch? And since systemd branch is such a mess at the moment, I see no other choice. You have no idea how much I wished everything was okay or that I could not give a damn about the situation, but it hurts me as much as it does you when somebody changes something that you find wrong or worse, which doesn't work at all. I was asked to keep quiet, but since you can't stop publicly complaining about my work (even if you don't like it), then so won't I. I had to get it off my mind, no matter what the cost may be. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
