However, and I hope you developers will understand this. there exists actually
a current developer version HTML, a Development BLFS systemd (HTML) version,
and a Krejzi's Beyond Linux® From Scratch version. I am not mentioning the
stable versions.
Some time ago, I asked the question, if I should build a normal BLFS system or
better build the new systemd one. The answer was, more or less, systemd is the
future. OK. I built it, with success up to now.
Now, a user has to learn, that systemd could be the future, but also could
not. Furthermore, there are now two competing systemd systems, an official one
and another one, "hopefully not so broken as the official one" !
What the user needs ( I am not talking about distributors, they probably knows
better what is happening ) is a clear statement: if you use systemd, you will
have these adventages/disadventages, and the same for the old udev
alternative, The last thing I want to have is an official and an inofficial
version of systemd. The discussion about differences and perhaps errors should
be an internal one, leading to just one recommended systemd in BLFS, hopefull
more or less free of bugs.Developers should be able to do this.
Please do not send to all the mailing lists. blfs-dev is sufficient.
You are right about three development versions of BLFS. They are
different however. The classic BLFS does not use systemd. Some users
are very much against systemd and the tentacles it is inserting into
many other packages.
The two systemd packages provide a different level of stability. The
newest Krejzi version is the result of one developer, although a lot of
that is taken from the non-systemd version. It offers initial versions
of packages that have not been around long enough to make their way into
the established books. An example is KDE5.
In some ways the Krejzi version is a little like the Cross-LFS versions
of LFS. The different versions provide a additional capabilities for
adventurous users.
