If you mean that for your clean chroot you build each package individually, and remove its installed files when building a package which does not knowingly use it, (so when you build gimp all of python3, meson, ninja are not in the chroot) then yes. That approach also means you must yourself identify dependencies which are not mentioned in BLFS because they are present on a completed LFS system. I think that is the approach which fedora take, although they "throw in the kitchen sink" in adding almost all possible dependencies. ĸen -- The politics of wizardry were either very simple, and resolved by someone ceasing to breathe, or as complex as one ball of yarn in a room with three bright-eyed little kittens. - Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
