There may be a simple resolution, since in the MIPS build and some of the other architecture that don't have keyboards and mice, we had to add SSL, and SSH. We could add them to the BOOK as core packages.
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)
the lack of keyboard and mouse on some of these systems. When I also add the RaQ3, or
the network-applicances x86 based to the book, they will also have this same limitation and
need SSL and SSH.
That is a very serious possibility, I wouldn't mind keeping a multi-arch 6.x type branch.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.
Randy the message was posted a long time ago and no objections were noted. Here is the original post from Matt,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.
