Checking my log, I build g-i as number 14 in my list of BLFS packages. I

Coming late to this, after unpicking my error in kde. I don't have
any problem with recommending it (I disable it in gudev, gucharmap,
librsvg, pygobject2 so obviously we ought to recommend it for those
or their dependencies),
But I have not built it since LFS-7.5, and for a non-gnome desktop it
does not seem to be useful at the moment. (I regard vala as part of
gnome).
I guess that (if it has not already been changed) moving it to
Required and adding '(if building gnome),' before the next package
in the list would show that not everybody needs it.
We don't build the Gnome desktop, but we do build some Gnome applications. The
above wording seems to be a bit ambiguous.
I'm also surprised that you build it so early - I did not think it
was useful until Xorg had been installed.
I generally build most optional dependencies, but I don't recall why I built g-i
that early for this iteration. This is my partial list:
/usr/src/lsb-release/lsb-release-1.4.tar.gz
/usr/src/sudo/sudo-1.8.10p3.tar.gz
/usr/src/openssl/openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz
/usr/src/openssh/openssh-6.6p1.tar.gz
/usr/src/wget/wget-1.15.tar.xz
/usr/src/which/which-2.20.tar.gz
/usr/src/pcre/pcre-8.35.tar.bz2
/usr/src/libffi/libffi-3.1.tar.gz
/usr/src/python/Python-2.7.8.tar.xz
/usr/src/zip/zip30.tar.gz
/usr/src/unzip/unzip60.tar.gz
/usr/src/nspr/nspr-4.10.7.tar.gz
/usr/src/glib/glib-2.40.0.tar.xz
/usr/src/gobject/gobject-introspection-1.40.0.tar.xz
/usr/src/eudev/eudev-1.10.tar.gz
/usr/src/spidermonkey/mozjs17.0.0.tar.gz
/usr/src/polkit/polkit-0.112.tar.gz
/usr/src/gpm/gpm-1.20.7.tar.bz2
/usr/src/popt/popt-1.16.tar.gz
/usr/src/icu/icu4c-53_1-src.tgz
/usr/src/gptfdisk/gptfdisk-0.8.10.tar.gz
/usr/src/xc/util-macros/util-macros-1.19.0.tar.bz
And continued with Xorg, etc.
Generally, one of the earliest things I build are subversion and docbook etc so
I can build the book, but I see those are way down on this list.
When I built 7.5, g-i was #104.
