Indeed, but that's not quite at the level I was talking about.

I was looking at adding a "Chapter 10" for my own local LFS book (one in which I
also add the PkgUser commands that get run in addition to the standard *LFS
build commands) but found that i coldn't just take a "package" XML source file
for some package out of the BLFS sources and stick it into the LFS sources
and rebuild the HTML.

I have just noticed, having caught up on the fact that 8.2 wa
released, that five
packages were moved from BLFS into LFS for the release, so presumably the
editors will have noticed the differences in the way the two books are
built from
souce.

Is that a bit clearer, or am I still not clear as to what you are saying?
