Those there packages are all in LFS too.
:-) So, that does open the door for the next question, however. What is
the path to merge BLFS books? Is everybody comfortable with how the LFS
merge went and how it is working after the fact? IMO, it was a complete
success! I've still got a bit more to do in chapter 7 device naming to
bring it up to par with SysV, being side by side brings those omissions
to the forefront, but if BLFS is to be done in similar fashion, might
want to get started on it sooner rather than later in the release cycle.
Given the size and scope of BLFS, I had thought it might be smoother to
get trunk ready to handle sysv/systemd without any additional content,
and continue development as usual. I believe this will actually be less
disruptive WRT jhalfs than it was for LFS since we already do a profiled
build (still have to handle the menu, can it be reused?). Then,
gradually pull in the necessary systemd changes. It'll make the
timeframe larger to be sure, but I think it would be a smoother overall
transition. Probably a bit more tedious than a long freeze, but we'll
get there. Might also give a bit of breathing room to Jean-Phillipe and
the French translation team if they are tracking BLFS.
OT: Speaking of which, I love the side-bar navigation in the French
translation here:

Excellent work guys! I have exactly two nit-picks, to my taste. I'd
freeze the indent after the large icons show up in the TOCs, and left
justify if using the small icons (there are some big gaps with only 4-6
words per line in full justification). If it is all or nothing, still
left. But even with those minor points, this is an excellent change! It
scales to everything I've thrown at it.
I was just reminded that this came up before 2015/08/07 (I wasn't active
at that time). I vaguely remember looking at some of Ken's screenshots
and having a "meh" response, so I didn't on list.

There have obviously been some changes since, but I'm kind of liking
most of it after seeing it tonight. The font is nicer on the French
page, and the nav icons are evenly spaced on the French page. Bruce's
version doesn't have the indent or large header that I didn't like, and
is left justified. There is an issue with the header being indented in
portrait mode on Android Chrome when viewing Bruce's render as well. I
think this was pretty close when Bruce and Ken last left off. I'd like
to revisit the css3 changes. Too much at once I know, but that
presentation is really nice!
