1)

x7fonts.xml has an

  as_root rm -rf $packagedir

in the loop over packages, although x7apps doesn't have the as_root,
and nor does x7libs.


2)

Installation of intel-vaapi-driver

appears to unpack the intel-vaapi-driver sources into the libva directory.

Does it need to be installed from within the libva source directory?

I'd have thought one would have cd-d back up out of the libva dir?


3)

I also noted that many of the X Window System package instructions
(although I think it's a BLFS wide thing) follow this form :

Installation of package

Install <application>package</application> by running the following commands:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install


I'd like to suggest that the "Install" sentence there should be replaced by

"Build <application>package</application> by running ..."

as that's what the combined configure+make commands actually do
and that the "Now, as the root user:" becomes

"As the root user, install the package as follows:"

as that is what the commands to be done as the root user do.


If truth be told, I'd rather see the "Patch; Configure; Make; Make Install"
stages in separate boxes but think that's a bit too much of an ask?
