I think you are looking at an old version of the book, maybe 8.3 ? e.g. > ---------------------------- > Package: nodejs-9.11.2 > required > ---------------------------- > ---------------------------- > Package: HarfBuzz-1.8.8 > optional > ---------------------------- However, I suspect that the packages using 2.7 are probably the same. And I'm somewhat reluctant, for the moment, to stop mentioning 2.7 where it is optional. But to move building 2.7 modules to optional, or even to remove/comment the instructions (unless they are thought to be required) seems fine. ĸen -- I'm saving up 22 shillings and 10 pence (almost a pound!) per week to buy an ARM-13. http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2018/11/brexit-means-brexit.html -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
