This would sort of defeat the purpose for the scripts. 1) The package would have to be pre-built for the scripts. This means a script is needed to do the job or a person doing it by hand. 2) All who use the given script, need that custom-built package for this to work. If they do not have it, the script is useless. 3) The Xorg team has already spent time putting the package system together, that work is already done, it seems wasteful (and sdrawkcab) to just redo the package layout to get a script to work. Also note: I was being a little lazy, on line 119, in the 'app' directory, I install dependencies first, then I install everything there with the wonderful '*' wild-card. This saves me time writing every directory name at the cost of reinstalling the dependencies again, quite harmlessly (unless your on a 386). My key idea here was to do as much work with as little effort. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
