Just a suggestion for anyone that is adding CBLFS pages or doing any updating of pre-existing pages. clfs, lfs, blfs, etc. generally have a "command explanations" section for all of the stray flags and sed's and the like that are used in building a package but aren't standard. It would be nice if such explanations were given in CBLFS. It's far too often the case that some stray sed's are given - or a couple extra flags for configure, or something similar - and no explanation is given. As a result, anyone who wishes to know what the extra commands are for (and in some cases whether they really want to actually use them) has to dig through various files in the package trying to figure out exactly what's going on.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get that kind of information from BLFS and put it in CBLFS for the packages that are in both, but there are plenty of packages that aren't in BLFS. So, if you happen to be the one that knows what's going on with various non-BLFS packages or if you add a new package to CBLFS, I think that many of us would appreciate it if you added explanations for the extra commands like the other lfs-related books do. Thanks. - Jonathan Davis P.S. A giant thank you to anyone that has worked on CBLFS - particularly those that have included all of the relevant explanations along with the build instructions themelves. _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-dev
