As a simple observer of this thread, and one that doesn't care either way, I think you should install the two packages and run the test suite and see exactly what it tests, and see if the test is even relevant before you start discussing if the packages should be added. It may be that you install the packages but the tests turn out to be something trivial. -- 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] 13:13:00 up 83 days, 22:37, 3 users, load average: 1.25, 1.12, 0.68 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
