To answer your question with a question: Is there any reason to use ed? The answer is to satisfy a build requirement of some ancient package. If the new version will satisfy that package's requirement, then yes, it's OK. Doing a quick grep of the book, the only references I can see are tetex and Xorg libraries. Taking a look at Xorg libraries, a quick check indicates that sed is now being used and not ed, so ed there may just be a holdover from xfree86. BTW, the version of ed in BLFS svn 1.4. You shouldn't be using the "stable" version. It's just too far out of date. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
