William, I don't want to repeat what others already said about your actions, which undoubtedly (your actions) were rude, but you have made some valid points in your original report, which are technical points. Since other formats (from various published benchmarks) seems inferior when comparing with LZMA, it (lzma) surely has to have a widespread usage among the projects, so normally in a typical great world which chooses the best technology, it also has a place in the LFS book. But guess is not that typical great world, so and because it takes time for projects to adopt technologies (if ever decide to do that adoption), this is not yet the time. So for now, as Matthew said, LZMA belongs to BLFS and not to LFS book. If you have the needed passion to do all the necessary work, (I or another editor) can apply your patch and we will credit your name in "introduction/credits.html" page. First you need to open a ticket in BLFS ticket system, and optionally to start a new thread in blfs-dev mailing list to attract some interest from the community. There is also an excellent short guide made by Dan Nicholson [1] that is more than enough to guide through the process, and the editor's guide Book [2], if you interested for a more complete document. 1. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/Hacking 2. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/edguide/ Regards, Ag. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
