SSL/SSH != minimalistic I realize your suggestion Jim is a concession to a serious drawback in the new methodology, but just in the hour or so since you posted you message, there been talk of adding SSS, SSL, Lynx and GPM to core LFS (not all mentioned by you, Jim) What's next? May I propose keeping the 6.0 branch alive for folks that don't need cross-build functionality (probably 90% of LFS builders). Sure, we can make a 7.0 branch, but keep the 6.0 branch updated with packages as well, I'm sure you'd be able to find many, many more folks willing to test out 6.0-type builds, than cross-build techniques. I think serious discussion on this list needs to take place before the 6.0-methodology is dropped. Is this what everyone wants? I really don't remember any discussion about this, until now. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 18:18:00 up 16 days, 17:51, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
