I am now looking for feedback. Are there other solutions? Is my list for
BLFS-Basic too large? Is there something missing?
After spending 30 minutes attempting to reply, and realising there
are too many potential variations, one question: How separate will
the books be ? One repo, one book labelled as "Part One, Basic" and
"Part Two, Advanced" withing the same document OR One repo, two books
OR Two repos (and two books) ?
I was originally going to ask how you saw links between the two
books working (e.g. actual links or text saying "package FuBar in
the other book"), but this probably also affects jhalfs re
dependencies.
Actually, I would be inclined to move Xorg to Advanced AND drop most
of the legacy parts of it (use fluxbox or one of the other box WMs
for testing, drop twm).
What I had in mind was two separate books, but a Part One/Two in the
same volume is an interesting idea. It would certainly make links
between parts easier and may make changes to jhalfs unnecessary.
I want to keep xorg as a part of basic for two reasons. First, it
doesn't change much, and second I use it as a requirement in my LFS
classes. I do not want to drop the legacy parts because I don't like to
see the warnings in the xorg log. I always do them. Also, since they
are legacy they don't change at all so the maintenance for me amounts to
about 15 minutes every six months.
twm is useful in an educational environment. If twm is present, you do
not need any .xinitrc.
