Hello, There are quite a few packages that I use every day that are not in BLFS. I think it's a shame that they're not in the book so I've started to knock up example pages that show what a BLFS page might look like for them. The first 4 are:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/vte2_90.html This is the gkt+-3 version of vte that's already in the book. It can be installed in parallel with vte-0.28 as it adds 2_90 to the ends of the names of everything it installs. This will have to go into the book when Gnome 3 is added. I've written a page for it as it's used by Roxterm: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/roxterm.html Roxterm is basically gnome terminal without the need to install Gnome. What's not to like? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/openbox.html Openbox is a lightweight window manager, much like Fluxbox. I like it 'cos I can launch all the programs I use from the right click menu which is configured with a simple xml file in ~/config/openbox http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~andy/BLFS/rox-filer.html Rox is a simple, lightweight gtk+-2 file browser. Give them a try. I think they all deserve to be added to the book.
