* status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: William, please respect the decisions of the LFS editors. LZMA is not a requirement of any package in LFS. As we try to keep LFS finely balanced between functional & minimal, I don't see how LZMA fits into the book at present. That said, I do see the benefits of having instructions for how to compile and install it for those that think they could make use of it. As you seem keen to contribute to LFS, would you mind creating a page for this on the BLFS Wiki (I'd guess under http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/GeneralUtilities is as good a place as any)? Then post a link to that page to the blfs-dev list asking (not demanding) that those instructions be included in the BLFS book. If you fancy, you could even contribute a patch to BLFS' XML following the instructions at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/download.html to download the sources. That way it makes it much quicker and easier for the editors to see that ticket resolved as all they have to do is review and apply the patch. Regards, Matt. PS: In future any more demands from you are likely to be met with the contempt they deserve and you may well see yourself unsubscribed from the lists. Bear in mind that all the editors here are volunteers and don't owe anyone anything. They tackle tickets that are primarily of interest to them and the overall direction LFS is heading. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2214#comment:5> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
