Hi all, Noted in Chapter 6.1 of LFS-SVN there is a recommended package manager. I believe this is in direct conflict with the BLFS take on Package Management (see the beginning paragraph of http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/introduction/important.html#intro-important-pkgmgt).
I'm not sure the BLFS information should change, as it is my (and I believe other editor's) opinion that it really isn't our place to recommend one piece of software, or methodology, over another. I believe that if we (LFS) are going to present something then either: 1) Recommend it, put it in the book, with instructions how to do it, a la all the packages in LFS. 2) Present the alternatives and let the readers make a choice. 3) Simply mention the guiding philosophy and let readers find different solutions and choose what works for them. I realize this isn't a great big issue, I just don't like the fact that it appears LFS and BLFS are in direct conflict on this issue. -- 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] 18:19:00 up 95 days, 3:43, 3 users, load average: 1.12, 1.06, 0.72 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
