I forgot about that, but I'd probably put everything in one file anyway. The most complex situation is probably binutils. I'd do something like this. <!ENTITY binutils-version "2.16.1"> <!ENTITY binutils-md5 "6a9d529efb285071dad10e1f3d2b2967"> <!ENTITY binutils-size "12,272 KB"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch5p1-time "1.0 SBU"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch5p1-space "170 MB"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch5p2-time "1.5 SBU"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch5p2-space "114 MB"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch6-time "1.3 SBU"> <!ENTITY binutils-ch6-space "158 MB"> It would take a little effort to set up, but save effort in the long term as newer releases are made. Of course it would not affect the appearance or content of the book at all. Again, this is just a suggestion. I have no problem if none of the LFS editors want to do this. Since Manuel is doing the updates on this, perhaps he would like to comment about editing most of the files in the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
