Most of them are completely deprecated. The releases are still there, though, and some are even still developed. Just look in http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/app/ and pick any extras you want. The ones added back for BLFS (xinit/twm/etc.) are just so that startx works out of the box. bdftopcf should probably be added back upstream since building the fonts fails otherwise. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
