Playing with transcode (I've now got it to build with ffmpeg-4.0, dunno if it *works* - will be trying to offer a patch to gentoo before I get on with that, because their's seems to be incomplete for my build) reminded my that I build various things which are not in BLFS. At this moment I am reminded of two: is there any interest in adding these to BLFS ?
1. lsdvd : if you are using transcode (or just tccat) to rip a DVD, 2. chrony : we have a hint for an old verison, but that hint is severely out of date. Actually, I can remember using an older version when I was on dialup. I noticed a pointer to an article at lwn.net late last year: https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/blogs/securing-network-time/ At that time I was having problems with ntpd losing sync after a series of s2ram suspends on my haswell. Chronyd seems to be recommended for machines which suspend or hibernate, and also for virtual machines. It did work with suspend on my haswell, but since then I seem to have broken the PS/2 connection and I'm now using a usb keyboard so s2ram doesn't work (hibernate does, similarly on my other two main machines which are all using chrony). Please note that I have no experience with using it on a machine which is not always connected to the network (e.g. a laptop) - it does have options for that, but I've no experience with using them. And I assume that people using systemd will probably use systemd-timesyncd. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
