After some lengthy discussion on IRC with Ryan Oliver our approach will be changing somewhat. We will still be re-investigating the build order and alphebetizing where possible, but our approach and methods will likely be changing. When I have a clearer idea on exactly what the approach will be, I will mail the list about it. Chris will likely also have some details to fill in. Lastly, I will probably rename the current branch to something that isn't as stringent and misleading as 'alphabetical'. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
