Xorg is targeting Linux distributions. Most of the dropped apps are never installed by a distribution, this includes bdftopcf and twm, though we've left those two in BLFS because they are still needed to build and test the system. Most of the dropped apps are still perfectly valid, and continue to be developed. They are just not a part of the 'official' Xorg distribution as they are not needed/used by Linux distributions. Though I haven't tested, the existing instructions are probably good for any of the apps that were dropped between versions. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
