When I added, put it in General Utilities. I could argue in the same lines that the right place is there. But I prefer to tell that this question was posed about the time the page was created. I asked if someone else but the interested ones could decide, I would do whatever necessary. No reply. Then BLFS systemd moved it to General Utilities, exactly because it didn't matter very much , not for me, not for the other editor. I didn't know, that you, Armin, had moved it to another place, when you created your personal book, becoming the only one different. It was your private personal unilateral decision. I'm affraid BLFS cannot be responsible for other book editors decisions, although such kind of modifications could deserve a discussion, if the different books want to cooperate with each other. In this case, it is not possible anymore, for obvious reasons. This is a bad day. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
